include clk-provider.h


will add this header.
Currently the <drivers/clk/qcom/clk-regmap.h> already includes it.

Yes but it should be included in any clk-provider drivers too.

Does this assume the display is left enabled out of the bootloader? Why
is this critical to system operation? Maybe it is really
CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED?


This clock is not kept enabled by bootloader. But leaving this ON for
clients on config noc.

Please see below comment for the other critical clk with no parent.

Again, nobody has fixed the UFS driver to not need to do this halt skip
check for these clks? It's been over a year.


The UFS_PHY_RX/TX clocks could be left enabled due to certain HW boot
configuration and thus during the late initcall of clk_disable there
could be warnings of "clock stuck ON" in the dmesg. That is the reason
also to use the BRANCH_HALT_SKIP flag.

Oh that's bad. Why do the clks stay on when we try to turn them off?


Those could be due to the configuration selected by HW and SW cannot override them, so traditionally we have never polled for CLK_OFF for these clocks.


I would also check internally for the UFS driver fix you are referring here.

Sure. I keep asking but nothing is done :(

Why does this need halt_skip?

This is required as the source is external PHY, so we want to not check
for HALT.

This doesn't really answer my question. If the source is an external phy
then it should be listed as a clock in the DT binding and the parent
should be specified here. Unless something doesn't work because of that?


The USB phy is managed by the USB driver and clock driver is not aware if USB driver models the phy as a clock. Thus we do want to keep a dependency on the parent and not poll for CLK_ENABLE.

There's no parent though... So I guess this means it keeps it enabled
implicitly in hardware?


These are not left enabled, but want to leave them enabled for clients
on config NOC.

Sure. It just doesn't make sense to create clk structures and expose
them in the kernel when we just want to turn the bits on and leave them
on forever. Why not just do some register writes in probe for this
driver? Doesn't that work just as well and use less memory?


Even if I write these registers during probe, the late init check 'clk_core_is_enabled' would return true and would be turned OFF, that is the reason for marking them CRITICAL.
