Hi Heiko,

Using a combination of fixed clock and gpio-gate clock works but does
not describe the actual hardware. Use the gated-fixed-clock binding
to describe this in a nicer way.


You also add a regulator as supply :)

I'm assuming the whole comment can be removed as it was just the reasoning behind two clocks and now we only have one which is pretty self explanatory?

- pcie_refclk_gen: pcie-refclk-gen-clock {
- compatible = "fixed-clock";
+ pcie_refclk: pcie-clock-generator {
+ compatible = "gated-fixed-clock";
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-frequency = <100000000>;
- };

- pcie_refclk: pcie-refclk-clock {
- compatible = "gpio-gate-clock";
- clocks = <&pcie_refclk_gen>;
- #clock-cells = <0>;
+ clock-output-names = "pcie3_refclk";

Why change the name? I'm also wondering if we cannot have free backward compatibility by setting this to pcie-refclk-clock to match the old name?

Same remarks for Tiger (patch 2).

Change looks fine though.

Cheers,
Quentin
