neither the "rx" nor the "tx" clock are documented in the dt-bindings patch


ok, i will add them later.

clk_set_rate also works for clocks that are not enabled yet (except if
they have the flag CLK_SET_RATE_UNGATE)
this should help you to remove CLK_DIV_MASK here


if not set clk_div_mask here, the value 0x00 of divider means nand clock
off, even read/write nand register is forbidden.
ah, now I see the pattern here.
Jerome has written a "sclk-div" driver (which is currently only used
for the audio clocks on AXG). based on reading the code it seems that
switching the driver of the divider clock to sclk-div would allow you
to remove setting CLK_DIV_MASK here:
- the "hi" parameter in struct meson_sclk_div_data is optional ->
then the sclk-div clock won't try to change the duty cycle
- sclk_div_init reads the divider at initialization time - if it's 0
it takes the maximum possible divider value
- sclk_div_enable (which you're going to call anyways, through
clk_prepare_enable) will then set the divider to the greatest possible
value

I read the code and it makes sense.
I try ro add mmc_clkc_regmap_divider_ops in clk-regmap.c and implement the initial value when enable call. like this:
+static int mmc_clkc_regmap_div_enable(struct clk_hw *hw)
+{
+ struct clk_regmap *clk = to_clk_regmap(hw);
+ struct clk_regmap_div_data *div = clk_get_regmap_div_data(clk);
+ unsigned int val;
+
+ regmap_read(clk->map, div->offset, &val);
+ val &= clk_div_mask(div->width);
+ if (!val)
+ regmap_update_bits(clk->map, div->offset,
+ clk_div_mask(div->width) << div->shift,
+ clk_div_mask(div->width));

+ return 0;
+}

it works.

is CLK_SELECT_NAND a bit that switches the clock output from the sdmmc
controller to the NAND controller?
if so: can this be modeled as a mux clock?


it seems to like a gate. 1: nand is selected; 0: emmc is selected.
Is it suitable for making it as a mux clock?
my understanding of a gate is:
- register value X = OFF, value Y = ON

but in your case it's:
- 0 = eMMC is ON but NAND is OFF
- 1 = eMMC is OFF but NAND is ON
(so both values mean "on", just for different contexts)

I believe you need to set this value for eMMC as well:
what if the bootloader (or hardware defaults, etc.) incorrectly sets
the value to 1 but the Linux .dts is configured to use eMMC?

en , we need set 0 for emmc as well.

the public S905 datasheet doesn't mention CLK_ALWAYS_ON at bit 28 but
uses bit 24 instead. the description from the datasheet:
Cfg_always_on:
1: Keep clock always on
0: Clock on/off controlled by activities.
Any APB3 access or descriptor execution will turn clock on.
Recommended value: 0

can you please explain what CLK_ALWAYS_ON does and why it has to be 1?


em , it is the same as bit 24 in S905 datasheet, only moves to bit 28.
it means keeping internal clock on whether nand wroks or not.
it doesn't have to be 1; i have tried 0 successfully on AXG platform.
my preference would be to use the recommended value from the datasheet
unless there's a good argument why it has to be different


indeed, i will adopt the recommended value.
