Document tegra-clocks sub-node which describes Tegra SoC clocks that
require a higher voltage of the core power domain in order to operate
properly on a higher clock rates.  Each node contains a phandle to OPP
table and power domain.

The root PLLs and system clocks don't have any specific device dedicated
to them, clock controller is in charge of managing power for them.

You are saying the first string must be both one of the enums and 
'nvidia,tegra-clock'. You don't get an error because your pattern 
doesn't match 'sclk'.

Just 'operating-points-v2: true' is enough.

Could you please rephrase or clarify? If pattern doesn't match 'sclk',
then it must match any other enum. I'm not sure what you're meaning.

The 'nvidia,tegra-clock' actually could be removed since it's
superfluous now. I'll consider the removal in v9.

"sclk" doesn't match "^[a-z]+[0-9]+$" because it's missing at least one
digit at the end. Perhaps that last + was supposed to be *?

It also looks like your schema was meant to be something like:

	compatible:
	  - items:
	      - enum:
	          - nvidia,tegra20-sclk
	          - nvidia,tegra30-sclk
	          - nvidia,tegra30-pllc
	          - nvidia,tegra30-plle
	          - nvidia,tegra30-pllm
	      - const: nvidia,tegra-clock

Note how the const: element is indented one more level. Now this means:
one of the enumeration values, followed by the constant value. That
matches what the example has.

That said, I agree that nvidia,tegra-clock seems a bit useless. There's
really no such thing as a generic clock, they're all different in some
way.

I wonder if it'd be better to match on the name of the node rather than
add an artificial compatible string. We usually use the compatible
string to match a device, but here you're really trying to add
information about a resource provided by the CAR controller.

We do similar things for example in PMIC bindings where the individual
regulators are represented in the device tree via nodes named after the
regulator.

You could then also leave out the clocks property, which is weird as it
is because it's basically a self-reference. But you don't really need
the reference here in the first place because the CAR is already the
parent of SCLK.

Also, I don't think the tegra- prefix is necessary here. The parent node
is already identified as Tegra via the compatible string.

In the case of CAR, I'd imagine something like:

	clocks {
		sclk {
			operating-points-v2 = <&opp_table>;
			power-domains = <&domain>;
		};
	};

Now you've only got the bare minimum in here that you actually add. All
the other data that you used to have is simply derived from the parent.

Ah, the regex pattern. Yes, I forgot to update it.

It's a leftover from older versions of this patchset, I'll remove it.

We don't have a platform device for CaR. I don't see how it's going to
work. We need to create a platform device for each RPM-capable clock
because that's how RPM works. The compatible string is required for
instantiating OF-devices from a node, otherwise we will have to
re-invent the OF core.

'clocks' is already a generic keyword in DT. It's probably not okay to
redefine it.

I think we do have a platform device for CAR. It's just not bound
against by the driver because these clock drivers are "special". But
from other parts of the series you're already trying to fix that, at
least partially.

But it doesn't seem right to create a platform device for each RPM-
capable clock. Why do they need to be devices? They aren't, so why
pretend? Is it that some API that we want to use here requires the
struct device?

"clocks" is not a generic keyword. It's the name of a property and given
that we're talking about the clock provider here, it doesn't need a
clocks property of its own, so it should be fine to use that for the
node.

The "device" representation is internal to the kernel. It's okay to me
to have PLLs represented by a device, it's a distinct h/w by itself.

CCF supports managing of clock's RPM and it requires to have clock to be
backed by a device. That's what we are using here.

I'm curious what Rob thinks about it. Rob, does this sound okay to you?

I assume dt-schema won't be happy with a different meaning for the 'clocks'.

Looking at the implementation of __clk_register() and where that device
pointer typically comes from, I don't think the way this is used here is
what was intended. The way I interpret the code is that a clock is
registered with a parent device (i.e. its provider) and
clk_pm_runtime_get() is then used internally as a way to make sure that
when a clock is prepared, it's parent device is runtime resumed. This is
presumably to ensure that any registers that the driver might need to
access in order to prepare and enable the clock are accessible (i.e. the
CAR is not powered off or in reset).

So the struct device that is passed to __clk_register() (or its callers)
should be that of the CAR rather than virtual struct devices created by
the CAR.

And it's a bit debatable whether or not PLLs represent distinct
hardware. Ultimately every transistor on a chip could be considered
distinct hardware. But a platform device is a device on a platform bus,
which is really just another way of saying it's a hardware block that's
accessible from the CPU via a memory-mapped address. A PLL (just like
other clocks) is merely a resource exposed by means of access to these
registers. So I don't think they should be platform devices. Even making
them struct device:s seems a bit of a stretch.

Is there any reason why struct clk can't be used for this? I mean, the
whole purpose of that structure is to represent clocks. Why do we need
to make them special?

Another alternative would be to omit that level altogether and just make
sclk and siblings direct children of the CAR node.

That can be done.

Because we need to perform DVFS for PLLs. The only way to do it without
having to reinvent existing frameworks is to use these frameworks and
they require a device.
