The 'offset' is a configuration parameter and the 'clock', when NULL, is basically some "always-on" clock. I am sure we wouldn't be doing it, if the controller was third-party. -Jassi

If newer implementations are 'the same', then they should have a fallback compatible to the existing one that is the same and no driver change is needed. If the differences are board or instance (within an SoC) specific, then a DT property would be appropriate. 3rd party IP is generally not any different. SoC vendors manage to make their implementations unique... Rob

Clock-name is a pure s/w artifact. So, maybe we could push all these in DT. thanks.

The particular register that we care of has, as you can see, moved around during the various platforms and some incarnations of this IP block provides controls for CPU-related clocks as well. We can certainly have the multiple compatible points to the same apcs_data, but I'm not able to spot a reasonable "catch-all compatible" given that I don't see any natural groupings. > In any case, we can't really get rid of the first 13 instances though... > Right, we have the problem that we have DTBs out there that relies on these compatibles, but as Jassi requests we'd have to start describing the internal register layout in DT - which this binding purposefully avoids.

Using a compatible that actually describes the specific IP block allows us to add more implementation details to the existing binding after the fact, like we had to do in c815d769b598 ("mailbox: qcom: Create APCS child device for clock controller") So what we typically do between Qualcomm platforms is to come up with some common compatible that really states the equivalent of "a generic apcs with mailbox register at offset 8", we specify both the specific and the generic in DT and we implement only the generic - until the day when we need the specific. But we need to figure out what the common descriptor is for these various groups of apcs blocks for that to work out. > > > In any case, we can't really get rid of the first 13 instances though... > > > > > > > Right, we have the problem that we have DTBs out there that relies on > > these compatibles, but as Jassi requests we'd have to start describing > > the internal register layout in DT - which this binding purposefully > > avoids. > > > Not these strings, but 'offset' and 'clock-name' as optional > properties that new platforms can use. > Relying on completely generic compatibles to match the driver and then distinguish each platform using additional properties is exactly what Qualcomm does downstream. The community has clarified countless times that this is not the way to write DT bindings. That said, I certainly dislike the current situation, because bringing a new Qualcomm platform upstream means adding a couple of drivers (clocks, pinctl etc) and then it's a large amount of oneliners throughout the various drivers just adding compatibles in the right palces.

For h/w quirks and extra/missing features, it does make sense to have different compatibles. However, for _trivial_ variations let us get that value from DT. 'offset' is anyway a h/w property. That way we won't be distinguishing platforms using dt properties, but only support different platforms seamlessly. On second thought, we have grown from 2 to 13 aliases in 4 yrs. I only have to ignore 3 times/annum to lead a peaceful life ;) thnx.

We'd still need a patch in the DT binding for every single platform, but we should be able to avoid the compatible additions in the driver. Regards, Bjorn

This driver is here to "simply" manage the register offset in the APCS IP, which is a pretty straightforward operation. If you check in this driver, you will see that there's not much duplication between the various qcom_apcs_ipc_data that we have for all the different SoCs. Checking further, we can effectively reduce the amount of compatibles in this driver by simply removing some "duplicated" instances and in particular: ipq6018, ipq8074, msm8916, msm8994, msm8998, sdm660 and eventually replacing them with either of: - 8bits_apcs_data qcom,apcs-apps-global-8bit qcom,apcs-kpss-global-8bit - more_appropriate_name_apcs_data qcom,(...blah) This would mean that we would have to use a generic "qcom,apcs-clk" as the clk_name, but no other modifications would be done, apart checking the return value to choose whether to print or not the dev_err when the clock name is specified but not present in dt, since the driver is already actually covering this case. That would make us able to reduce the compatibles from 6 to 2, relative to the aforementioned SoC specific bindings. I'm positive that, through time, when new SoCs arrive, we would avoid getting this compatible list to be megabytes long... Right now it's not an issue, but since Qualcomm SoCs are now being very actively upstreamed, I can see this coming in the future, somehow. Of course this means that we're getting some fair amount of patch-noise in the mailing lists, since all qcom dtsi files will have to be changed, but that shouldn't really be a problem, I guess. I'm sure that I'm not the only one with such a "wow-idea" in mind :) Yours, - Angelo > Regards, > Bjorn >

Maybe we cross the bridge when we get to it. I think, when the drivers are enhanced and the kernel binary needs to be updated, we could update the dtb as well? Or is it too hard on these platforms? cheers.

However, since the existing compatibles can't be removed, we could at least stop adding new, but reuse the existing ones. cheers.

We could probably "qcom,apss-global" as a catch-all for at least sc7180, sc7280, sdm845, sm8150, sm8250 and sm8350. But look at 8996 and 8998, both named "something-hmss-something", with different register layout. And a quick glance seems to indicate that sdm660 isn't a hmss after all :/ But introducing qcom,apss-global should catch a bunch of the newer platforms. On the DT binding side we still need the platform-specific ones and we need each one to be added to the binding regardless of the catch-all in the driver.

And I also presume that there might be cases where the CPU clocks has moved into the secure world, so that even though the hardware block is the same the presence of a in-kernel clock driver in the implementation might differ. But just to clarify, I find it annoying having to sprinkle compatibles all over the place every time I try to get a new board up. So I am not against us trying to figure this out. Regards, Bjorn

Bring it on. Cheers!
