+Binding for TI DaVinci PLL Controllers
+
+The PLL provides clocks to most of the components on the SoC. In
addition
+to the PLL itself, this controller also contains bypasses, gates,
dividers,
+an multiplexers for various clock signals.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: shall be one of:
+ÂÂÂ - "ti,da850-pll0" for PLL0 on DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18XX
+ÂÂÂ - "ti,da850-pll1" for PLL1 on DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18XX

These PLLs are same IP so they should use the same compatible. You can
initialize both PLLs for DA850 based on the same compatible.


But they are not exactly the same. For example, PLL0 has 7 PLLDIV clocks
while
PLL1 only has 3. PLL0 has PREDIV while PLL1 does not. PLL0 has certain
SYSCLKs
that are fixed-ratio but PLL1 does not have any of these. There are even
more
differences, but these are the ones we are actually using.

We need each element of the PLLC to be modeled individually as a clock
node.

I gave this a good think while I have been working on this series
and I came to the conclusion that we really don't need to do this.
These components are all internal to the PLL IP block, so the
compatible string is enough to tell us what we have. They only
thing we need really in the device tree bindings are the connections
that are external to the IP block.


That is, PLL should only model the multiplier, the dividers
including post and prediv should be modeled as divider clocks (hopefully
being able to use the clk-divider.c library). The sysclks can be
fixed-factor-clock type clocks.

Without this flexible mechanism, we cannot (at least later) model things
like DIV4.5 clock which is the only clock which derives from the output
of PLL multiplier before the post divider is applied.

Since with DT there are are no retakes, we need to get this right the
first time and modifying later will not be an option.


So, the full device tree binding would look something like this:

+
+ÂÂÂ pll0: clock-controller@11000 {
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ compatible = "ti,da850-pll0";
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ reg = <0x11000 0x1000>;
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ clocks = <&ref_clk>, <&pll1_sysclk 3>, <&pll1_obsclk>;
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ clock-names = "oscin", pll1_sysclk3", "pll1_osbclk";
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ oscin-square-wave;
+
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ pll0_sysclk: sysclk {
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ #clock-cells = <1>;
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ };
+
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ pll0_auxclk: auxclk {
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ #clock-cells = <0>;
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ };
+
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ pll0_div45: div4.5 {
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ #clock-cells = <0>;
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ };
+
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ pll0_obsclk: obsclk {
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ #clock-cells = <0>;
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ assigned-clocks = <&pll0_sysclk 1>;
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ assigned-clock-names = "ocsrc";
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ };
+ÂÂÂ };

Well, I guess this will work as well. And I am probably biased towards
the style I mentioned because AM335x and other TI OMAP processors
follow that.

To make it easy to review that we have all bases covered, can you model
the all PLLC0 and PLLC1 (input and output) clocks for the next version?

Sure thing.



There are three clocks coming into the IP block and there are 11 clocks
going out (sysclk is 7 clocks). And you can specify the board-specific
configuration, like having the "oscin-square-wave" flag when a square wave
is used instead of a crystal oscillator and you can assign the multiplexer

Ideally the OSCIN vs CLKIN selection should be another clock mux whose
output is one of the input clocks to PLL controller. But I can see the
difficulty in handling that as the mux itself is controlled by the PLL
controller.

input that will be used by obsclk. (And, this binding is totally compatible
with the binding I have already proposed - although, I see now it would
be better to go ahead and add the clocks-names property.)

Also, please add the oscin-square-wave to the binding definition too.

For the benefit of others reviewing and not familiar with the hardware,
the users guide for DA850 is here:
http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruh77c/spruh77c.pdf

and the PLL block diagram is on page 143 (Figure 8-1).
