[PATCH 1/1] arm64: dts: ti: k3-j784s4-j742s2-evm-common: Set ACSPCIe refclk to MAIN_PLL2_HSDIV4 for pcie1

From: Jared McArthur

Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 15:52:23 EST


The ACSPCIe buffers provide the PCIe refclk for external
devices. The ACSPCIe reference clock is muxable between multiple
sources: SERDESx_REF_DER_OUT_CLK, MAIN_PLL2_HSDIV4_CLKOUT, and
SERDESx_REF_OUT_CLK [0]. On reset, the refclk is set to the
SERDESx_REF_DER_OUT_CLK. In the J742S2 and J784S4, "the SerDes PCIe
Reference Clock Output will be temporarily disabled when changing Data
Rates to or from 8.0 GT/s in Derived Refclk mode". Some external PCIe
devices cannot tolerate the reference clock being disabled and will
therefore fail to link.

This advisory is described in more detail as: i2242 of the J784S4
Silicon Revision 1.0 (Rev. B) document [1].

The refclk for devices connected to PCIe1 is provided by the ACSPCIe
buffers in the J742S2XH01EVM [2] and J784S4XEVM [3]. Work around
the advisory by setting the ACSPCIe reference clock source to
MAIN_PLL2_HSDIV4_CLKOUT. Use the TI SCI clock controller to assign the
clock's source [4].
