The clock-names property is for the names of the _input_ clock lines on the device, not the output names on whichever parent clock they came from.

All right, that might have been a bad idea, it mixes names of clocks registered by the main clock controller with names of clock input lines at the device. It's a mistake I have been usually sensitive to and now made it myself. :/ My intention was to maintain the clock tree, since the camera block doesn't generate the clock itself, it merely passes through the clocks from the SoC main clock controller (CMU). So clk parents need to be properly set and since there is no clock-output-names property at the CMU DT node, of_clk_get_parent_name() cannot be used. So presumably the DT binding would be only specifying that the sclk_cam0, sclk_cam1 clock input entries are associated with output clocks named as in clock-output-names property. And the driver could either: 1) hard code those (well defined) CMU clock (clk parent) names, 2) clk_get() its input clock, retrieve name with __clk_get_name() and pass it as parent name to clk_register() - it sounds a bit hacky though. The output clock names could be also well defined by the binding per the IP's compatible. Nevertheless using clock-output-names seems cleaner to me than defining character strings in the driver.

It's frequency of an external sensor's master clock, which is provided by the SoC. Since the sensors have now possibility to control the clock themselves the host interface (binding) doesn't have to care about that frequency. This is supposed to be an assigned frequency, it has been discussed already on devicetree mailing list a few months ago. -- Regards, Sylwester -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

This looks fine, at least until proper interface is added to CCF. Exynos audio subsystem clock driver does exactly the same. However, the right thing would be to make it possible to use pointers to struct clk instead of strings to list parent(s). This could be done by adding .parents field (struct clk **) to clk_init_data struct and make clk_register() use it if available. > > The output clock names could be also well defined by the binding per the > IP's > compatible. Nevertheless using clock-output-names seems cleaner to me than > defining character strings in the driver. > > What do you think ? <RANT> Personally, I don't like clock-output-names at all. The idea of having a global namespace for all clock providers looks flawed to me. This property only tries to work around the not-quite-right design by giving device tree the right to force CCF to use particular internal clock identifiers and avoid collisions if two providers happen to have the same internal clock names. I believe there should be completely no need for clock-output-names, (other than a textual label for debugging purposes, analogically to regulator-name). If one clock provider needs a clock from another, then you should list it using clock bindings in node of the former, not rely on some static name assignments. Then, after eliminating the need to use static names anymore, the namespace could be split into per-provider namespaces and we would have no collision issue anymore. Of course it's probably to late already for such changes, as there are already systems relying on clock-output-names (i.e. without inter-IP clock dependencies listed using clock bindings) and we would have to keep backwards compatibility anyway... </RANT> Best regards, Tomasz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
