I see. So the simplified explanation is high clock rate for high res audio.
Would high clock rate work for standard sample rates?
Would using apll1 or univpll all the time work, instead of reparenting?
What's the gain if we do reparenting?

I see. Wouldn't reparenting the clock while it is in use by another module
cause glitches?

Right. That is expected. What I'm saying is that the CCF provides the
framework for automatically reparenting based on the requested clock
rate. This is done in the clock driver's .determine_rate op.

When properly implemented, and also restricting or locking the clock rates
of the PLLs, then you can simply request a clock rate on the leaf clock,
in this case one of the MCLKs, and the CCF and clock driver would handle
everything else. The consumer should not be reparenting clocks manually
unless for a very good reason which cannot be satisfied by the CCF.

I meant simply moving the CCF-based clk driver code (clk-mt8516-aud.c)
from `drivers/clk` and incorporating it into the audio driver, likely
in `mt8195-afe-clk.c` or maybe as a separate file. So the audio driver
would be a clock provider, and a clock consumer. It will directly use
the clocks it provides, internally, and you could remove all those
clock references from the device tree.

The goal is to have one hardware representation (device node) only, so
that it matches the hardware, which is one single unified block.

After the driver is completed, we can look for opportunities to improve
it, if resources are available.

For example, in `mt8195_afe_enable_reg_rw_clk()` in mt8195-afe-clk.c:

        unsigned int clk_array[] = {
                MT8195_CLK_SCP_ADSP_AUDIODSP,
                MT8195_CLK_TOP_AUDIO_LOCAL_BUS_SEL,
                MT8195_CLK_TOP_CFG_26M_AUD,
                MT8195_CLK_INFRA_AO_AUDIO,
                MT8195_CLK_INFRA_AO_AUDIO_26M_B,
                MT8195_CLK_TOP_AUD_INTBUS_SEL,
                MT8195_CLK_TOP_A1SYS_HP_SEL,
                MT8195_CLK_AUD_A1SYS_HP,
                MT8195_CLK_AUD_A1SYS,
                MT8195_CLK_TOP_AUDIO_H_SEL,
        };

You could add a comment after each line stating why that clock needs to
be enabled. A simple note like "bus access clock" or "internal logic clock"
would suffice.

The above list also has some redundancies that could be eliminated.
MT8195_CLK_TOP_A1SYS_HP_SEL is parent to both MT8195_CLK_AUD_A1SYS_HP and
MT8195_CLK_AUD_A1SYS. When clocks are enabled, their parents are also
enabled by CCF, so there's no need to enable them explicitly, unless
that clock also directly feeds the clock consumer.


Another thing I wanted to bring up: is any of the code after

    struct mt8195_afe_tuner_cfg {

used? It looks like it is used to configure the five extra PLLs in the audio
subsystem, but the exposed (non-static) functions don't seem to be called
anywhere. Are they for modules not yet supported?
