Re: [PATCH] Reorganize STM32 clocks in order to prepare them for PLLI2S and PLLSAI

Hi RadosÅaw,

Yes i m nearly ready to push a patch-set to manage LCD-TFT clock.

In my patch-set i introduced PLLI2S and PLLSAI in generic way, and offer the possibility to change the vco frequency (in order to cover all frequencies for any LCD).

And then, the vco is no longer a fixed factor.

This patch is just a fix or do you planned to upstream PLLI2S and PLLSAI ?

If you are ok I can send my patch-set ?

Best Regards

Gabriel

Hi Radoslaw,

I add Gabriel in the discussion. Gabriel is updating PLL management for STM32F429.

Hi,
all plls have the same clock parent which is after a main divider.
Currently the divider and multiplier are connected together within vco
clock and therefore there is no chance to reuse the divider and clearly
state where the conncetion "really" is. We can arrange all of them
separately but than the divider will be hidden for all of them
separately.

Quoting my last mail "I can see the value of naming the "/M"
pre-division separately". In other words I agree with the idea of the
patch.

To more explicitly state my review comments...

Please add a explanation of the problem and solution in the patch
description.

This strikes me as a bad name for a clock that is shared by all three
PLLs (the vco being an internal component of the PLL) however since the
clock is not named in the datasheet we are forced to invent a name [I
suspect that's why I gave up trying to name it when I wrote the driver
originally ;-) ].

Perhaps "pllin-prediv"?


+ clk_register_fixed_factor(NULL, "vco-mul", "vco-div", 0, plln, 1);

Why rename this clock? Multiplying is a what the vco (and its control
circuits) is *for*. Tagging it "-mul" is meaningless.
