[PATCH] clk: Propagate clk_set_rate() if CLK_SET_PARENT_RATE present

Sometimes clocks provided to a consumer might not have .set_rate operation (like gate or mux clocks), but have CLK_SET_PARENT_RATE flag set. In that case it's usually possible to find a parent up the tree which is capable of setting the rate (div, pll, etc). Implement a simple lookup procedure for such cases, to traverse the clock tree until .set_rate capable parent is found, and use that parent to actually change the rate. The search will stop once the first .set_rate capable clock is found, which is usually enough to handle most cases.

Hi Lukasz, Sean, Tom,
If this patch looks good to you and there are no outstanding comments, can you please apply it? It's needed as a part of eMMC enablement for E850-96 board, as eMMC gate (leaf) clock is specified as ciu clock in dts, which requires further clock rate change propagation up to divider clock.
Thanks!

Please be patient. The release cycle is quite long. My patch set for HiSilicon clk framework has been ignored for ~2months already.

Sorry, I've been busy IRL recently.
I will try to review patches in the backlog, but it might be a few more weeks.

Sure. In my case it's needed for eMMC enablement on E850-96 board. eMMC node in the device tree [1] is a gate clock (CLK_GOUT_MMC_EMBD_SDCLKIN), so the MMC driver won't be able to change its rate. But that clock actually has CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag set in the clock driver [2]. So the right thing to do in this case (and that's basically how it's done in Linux kernel too) is to traverse the clock tree upwards, and try to find the parent capable to do .set_rate (which is usually a divider clock), and use it to change the clock rate. I'm working on exynos_dw_mmc driver [3] right now, making it use CCF clocks, but I can't do that before this patch is applied.
Grepping the U-Boot tree I can see the CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag is also used in various IMX clock drivers and STM32MP13 clock driver. I guess without this change those flags will be basically ignored.
Thanks!

Hi Sean,
Just wanted to check if you think my explanation above is ok and the patch can be applied? I'm finishing my new patch series for enabling MMC on E850-96, but this patch has to be applied first.

Hi all
Working on the clock now. I have done a different implementation
clk-mux, clk-gate I have added a clk_generic_set_rate that is a stub that propagate to the parent, I think that should work the same but wihout this while and even on preparation on more changes I need. Can be work on your case too?

Hi Michael,
I've provided some thoughts on your gate/mux implementation here: [1]. As you've submitted your (different) implementation of the same feature, but 4 months later, I guess my patch doesn't cover your cases, or perhaps it has some design flaws? Please let me know.
If anything, that shows there is a rising need in this propagation feature. I'd like to encourage the maintainers to take a look at both implementations, and maybe at least comment on why there is hesitance to accept this patch. It's been almost 5 months that I'm trying to push that through, and my MMC work (DDR mode on E850-96 board to be precise) still very much depends on this.
Thanks!

Sure. In my case it's needed for eMMC enablement on E850-96
board.
eMMC node in the device tree [1] is a gate clock (CLK_GOUT_MMC_EMBD_SDCLKIN), so the MMC driver won't be able to
change
its rate. But that clock actually has CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag
set in
the clock driver [2]. So the right thing to do in this case (and that's basically how it's done in Linux kernel too) is to
traverse the
clock tree upwards, and try to find the parent capable to do
.set_rate
(which is usually a divider clock), and use it to change the
clock
rate. I'm working on exynos_dw_mmc driver [3] right now, making
it use
CCF clocks, but I can't do that before this patch is applied.
Grepping the U-Boot tree I can see the CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag
is
also used in various IMX clock drivers and STM32MP13 clock
driver. I
guess without this change those flags will be basically ignored.
Thanks!
Hi Sean,
Just wanted to check if you think my explanation above is ok and
the
patch can be applied? I'm finishing my new patch series for
enabling
MMC on E850-96, but this patch has to be applied first.
Thanks!
Hi Tom,
Would it be reasonable to ask you to take care of this patch? It's been ignored for 3 months now, but it's needed for eMMC enablement on E850-96 board.
Any comments at this point Sean?

If anything, that shows there is a rising need in this propagation feature. I'd like to encourage the maintainers to take a look at both implementations, and maybe at least comment on why there is hesitance to accept this patch. It's been almost 5 months that I'm trying to push that through, and my MMC work (DDR mode on E850-96 board to be precise) still very much depends on this.
My series is still not ready and I have no problem to go with your while for now
Hi Sean,
Can you please apply this patch, if it's ok with you?
Thanks!

Hi Sean,
Can you please apply this patch, if it's ok with you?
Gentle reminder.
Thanks!

Hi Sean,
This series has been pending for 5 months now. If there are no objections, can you please apply it?
Thanks!

Hi Tom, Sean,
Can we please apply this patch? I don't really understand why it's been consistently ignored for so long, with no explanation even. eMMC on E850-96 still doesn't work properly, this patch is really needed.
Thanks!

Sometimes clocks provided to a consumer might not have .set_rate operation (like gate or mux clocks), but have CLK_SET_PARENT_RATE flag set. In that case it's usually possible to find a parent up the tree which is capable of setting the rate (div, pll, etc). Implement a simple lookup procedure for such cases, to traverse the clock tree until .set_rate capable parent is found, and use that parent to actually change the rate. The search will stop once the first .set_rate capable clock is found, which is usually enough to handle most cases.

Applied to u-boot/next, thanks!
