Hi Doug,

Really thank you for your review.

The UFS Tx lane1 clock could be muxed, hence keep it optional by ignoring
it if it is not provided in device tree.

Thanks for the updated commit message. This makes much more sense now! :-)



Yeah, sorry for making you guys confused. My bad previously.

I don't believe you need the "if". A NULL clock is by definition OK
to enable / disable which is designed to make optional clocks easier
to deal with.



You are right, I checked the implemention, clock enable/disable func would
bail out if clk is NULL just as your comments.

clk_disable_unprepare(host->tx_l0_sync_clk);
- if (host->hba->lanes_per_direction > 1)
+ if (host->rx_l1_sync_clk)
clk_disable_unprepare(host->rx_l1_sync_clk);

optional: Technically this part of the patch wasn't actually needed,
right? "rx_l1_sync_clk" is not optional so that means that
"rx_l1_sync_clk" should be non-NULL exactly when lanes_per_direction >
1.

...but actually I'm fine with keeping this part of your patch for
symmetry. Especially since you can leverage the
clk_disable_unprepare(NULL) to simplify your code. Please mention in
your commit message that this is a cleanup and just for symmetry.
Probably also remove the "if" tests that are guarding
ufs_qcom_host_clk_enable().



Sure, got it.

Similar: the above change isn't required but I'm OK if you want to
make this change for symmetry / to cleanup clock handling. Please
mention in your commit message.



Sure, shall do so.

If "host->tx_l1_sync_clk" is provided then you should still check the
return value of ufs_qcom_host_clk_enable(), right? ...so please leave
the error path here.



Yeah... you are right.

nit: including "__func__" in dev_xxx() calls is discouraged. The
"dev_xxx" calls already print the device name and the string within a
given device driver should be unique enough so __func__ just adds crap
to the logs. If you really feel that __func__ adds something for you,
try posting up a patch to make all "dev_err" functions include
__func__. ...but I think you'd probably be rejected.

suggestion: you'd save a few lines of code and simplify your probe if
you just passed an "optional" bool to the ufs_qcom_host_clk_get() that
controlled the printout.



Good idea!

- err = ufs_qcom_host_clk_get(dev, "tx_lane1_sync_clk",
- &host->tx_l1_sync_clk);
+ /* The tx lane1 clk could be muxed, hence keep this optional */
+ ufs_qcom_host_clk_get(dev, "tx_lane1_sync_clk",
+ &host->tx_l1_sync_clk);

To be technically correct you should actually check the error value
returned by ufs_qcom_host_clk_get(). Specifically figure out what the
error value is when "tx_lane1_sync_clk" isn't specified and check for
that.

...one reason this matters is -EPROBE_DEFER. In theory devm_clk_get()
could return -EPROBE_DEFER. In such a case you'd want to exit the
probe, not continue on. It's also just good coding practice to handle
just the error you want though so that if the function returned some
other failing case you'd propagate it down instead of eating it.

If you passed "optional" to ufs_qcom_host_clk_get() as suggested above
you could put this error-code checking in ufs_qcom_host_clk_get() and
return 0 from that function if an optional clock was found to not
exist.

I think I understand it. Thanks a lot for the thorough review and suggestions.
