[v4,00/11] clk: sunxi-ng: Consider alternative parent rates when determining NKM clock rate

Message

Frank Oltmanns July 17, 2023, 1:34 p.m. UTC

This patchset enables NKM clocks to consider alternative parent rates
and utilize this new feature to adjust the pll-video0 clock on Allwinner
A64 (PATCH 2 and 3).

Furthermore, with this patchset pll-video0 considers rates that are
higher than the requested rate when finding the closest rate. In
consequence, higher rates are also considered by pll-video0's
descandents (PATCH 4 et. seq.). In total, after applying this patchset,
finding the closest rate is supported by:
  - ccu_nm
  - ccu_nkm
  - ccu_mux
  - ccu_div

This allows us to achieve an optimal rate for driving the board's panel.

To provide some context, the clock structure involved in this process is
as follows:
    clock                       clock type
    --------------------------------------
    pll-video0                  ccu_nm
       pll-mipi                 ccu_nkm
          tcon0                 ccu_mux
             tcon-data-clock    sun4i_dclk

The divider between tcon0 and tcon-data-clock is fixed at 4. Therefore,
in order to achieve a rate that closely matches the desired rate of the
panel, pll-mipi needs to operate at a specific rate.

Tests
=====
So far, this has been successfully tested on the A64-based Pinephone
using three different panel rates:

 1. A panel rate that can be matched exactly by pll-video0.
 2. A panel rate that requires pll-video0 to undershoot to get the
    closest rate.
 3. A panel rate that requires pll-video0 to overshoot to get the
    closest rate.

Panel requests tcon-data-clock of 103500000 Hz, i.e., pll-mipi needs to
run at 414000000 Hz. This results in the following clock rates:
   clock                            rate

run at 414600000 Hz. This results in the following clock rates:

Here, we first ask pll-video0 for a rate that it can't provide exactly:
 - rate=414600000: We ask the parent for rate * m / (n * k) = 282681818,
   it returns 282666666. Here the parent undershoots.
Later we ask pll-video0 for exactly that rate again:
 - rate=414577776: We ask the parent for DIV_ROUND_UP(rate * m, n * k) =
   282666666, which it then returns.

Changelog:
----------
Changes in v4:
 - Re-introduce a dedicated function for calculating the optimal parent
   rate for nkm clocks that was introduced in v2 and removed in v3. It
   turned out that not having this functionality introduces a bug when
   the parent does not support finding the closest rate:
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/
 - Incorporate review remarks:
    - Correcting the parameter name for ccu_nkm_round_rate()'s parent HW
      is now in a separate patch.
    - Use correct parameter order in ccu_nkm_find_best_with_parent_adj.
    - Add ccu_is_better_rate() and use it for determining the best rate
      for nm and nkm, as well as ccu_mux_helper_determine_rate.
    - Consistently introduce new macros for clock variants that support
      finding the closest rate instead of updating existing macros.
    - Use wrapper function for determining a ccu_mux's rate in order to
      support finding the closest rate.
 - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
 - Use dedicated function for finding the best rate in cases where an
   nkm clock supports setting its parent's rate, streamlining it with
   the structure that is used in other sunxi-ng ccus such as ccu_mp
   (PATCH 1).
 - Therefore, remove the now obsolete comments that were introduced in
   v2 (PATCH 1).
 - Remove the dedicated function for calculating the optimal parent rate
   for nkm clocks that was introduced in v2. Instead use a simple
   calculation and require the parent clock to select the closest rate to
   achieve optimal results (PATCH 1).
 - Therefore, add support to set the closest rate for nm clocks (because
   pll-mipi's parent pll-video0 is an nm clock) and all clock types that
   are descendants of a64's pll-video0, i.e., nkm, mux, and div (PATCH 3
   et. seq.).
 - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/

Changes in V2:
 - Move optimal parent rate calculation to dedicated function
 - Choose a parent rate that does not to overshoot requested rate
 - Add comments to ccu_nkm_find_best
 - Make sure that best_parent_rate stays at original parent rate in the unlikely
   case that all combinations overshoot.
