[RFC PATCH] clk: core: refine disable unused clocks

From: Jerome Brunet
Date: Fri Oct 04 2024 - 09:40:20 EST


As it as been pointed out numerous times, flagging a clock with
CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED does _not_ guarantee that clock left enabled will stay
on. The clock will get disabled if any enable/disable cycle happens on it
or its parent clocks.

Because enable/disable cycles will disable unused clocks,
clk_disable_unused() should not trigger such cycle. Doing so disregard
the flag if set for any parent clocks. This is problematic with
CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE handling.

To solve this, and a couple other issues, pass the parent status to the
child while walking the subtree, and return whether child ignored disable,
or not.

* Knowing the parent status allows to safely disable clocks with
CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE when the parent is enabled. Otherwise it means
that, while the clock is not gated it is effectively disabled. Turning on
the parents to sanitize the sitation would bring back our initial
problem, so just let it sanitize itself when the clock gets used.

* If a clock is not actively used (enabled_count == 0), does not have
CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED but the hw enabled all the way to the root clock, and a
child ignored the disable, it should ignore the disable too. Doing so
avoids disabling what is feading the children. Let the flag trickle down
the tree. This has the added benefit to transfer the information to the
unprepare path, so we don't unprepare the parent of a clock that ignored
a disable.

* An enabled clock must be prepared in CCF but we can't rely solely on
counts at clk_disable_unused() stage. Make sure an enabled clock is
considered prepared too, even if does not implement the related callback.
Also make sure only disabled clocks get unprepared.
