... and then I looked at the driver. So un-reviewed. Devices are clearly
compatible. If not, explain what is not compatible.

Talos uses GCC_USB3_PRIM_PHY_AUX_CLK.

In Shikra, we are using GCC_USB3_PRIM_PHY_COM_AUX_CLK. We don't have
GCC_USB3_PRIM_PHY_AUX_CLK.

Hence, I didn't use a fallback compatible.

This still explains nothing. How different clock makes interface for SW
incompatible exactly?

So I went by the naming. AUX vs COM_AUX.

The naming does not matter. If the clock is called
"no_one_expects_spanish_inquisition", does that make software
incompatible? Why would the name itself matter?


Can I use a fallback compatible and in DT vote for "COM_AUX" clock with
clock-names mentioning "aux" ?

I don't know, I asked what is different in software interface.


Hi Krzysztof,

I checked with the hw team here and found out two things.

1. Shikra is a spinoff of Agatti and its sw interface (clocks used and regulators used) is the same as agatti.

2. I thought we could use qcm2290 as a fallback since the phy register init sequence is the same for Talos/Shikra/Agatti. The difference between Talos and agatti when checked in the driver was the init load settings. I checked with the hw team and they suggested using the init load settings which talos was using.

Hence both these compatibles (qcm2290 and qcs615) cannot be used as fallback for Shikra.

Krishna,
