[PATCH v7 0/7] clk: nuvoton: ma35d1: Fix mux parenting and peripheral clock rates

From: Miquel Raynal

Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 11:05:32 EST


I am in possession of an MA35D1 NuMaker board. The SPI controller has
been contributed, but at this stage it does not work with the current
clock driver.

The clock controller registers its muxes with .fw_name parent data,
which requires every internal clock name to be declared in the DT. As
the DT does not declare them, all parent lookups fail: muxes end up
registered as root clocks and most peripherals read a zero rate.

This conversion exposed a first issue with the WDT/WWDT parents which
were actually missing in the clock driver. I am not using these clocks
myself but it is worth fixing.

The second round of reviews raised another problem with the
crystals. HXT and LXT are external crystal oscillators wired on the
board, while HIRC and LIRC are on-chip RC oscillators. HXT was described
whereas LXT was not. The series now also takes the two crystal inputs
from the DT: they get documented in the bindings, described in the
boards and looked up by the driver (with a fallback for backward
compatibility).

Finally, I was still unsatisfied by the clock tree because there were
too many root clocks. Many "gates" were wrongly set aside from the
downstream clocks they would gate, and SYSPLL was simply not parented at
all (?).

The clock tree now looks much more accurate.

Changes in v7:
- Avoid opencoding core helpers, replace them with existing helpers
(mentioned by Jerome)
- Rebased on top of clk-next since the first patches have been applied
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260930-perso-ma35d1-upstream-clk-v6-0-48937ee6c9bb@xxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v6:
- Drop the clock output names entirely, they are not relevant.
- Error out when the crystal providers defer probing.
- Make sure gates are correctly parented.
- Make sure SYSPLL is parented.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260929-perso-ma35d1-upstream-clk-v5-0-68533e935ee4@xxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v5:
- Fix the bindings wrt HXT and LXT.
- Fix the DT descriptions of HXT and LXT.
- Collect tags.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260925-perso-ma35d1-upstream-clk-v4-0-f3697553391f@xxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v4:
- I forgot to bump the clock counter in the driver after adding the two
new clocks in the bindings. Sashiko will keep complaining about the
incoherency though. Since binding and driver changes should be kept
separated, I cannot do both at the same time.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260925-perso-ma35d1-upstream-clk-v3-0-ffbae7e020a8@xxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v3:
- Drop the number of clocks from the binding, set it in the driver only
- Split the binding/driver patches completely
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260921-perso-ma35d1-upstream-clk-v2-0-209fd32a8b00@xxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- New patch 1/3: register the missing WDT/WWDT parent clocks
- New patch 3/3: harden the code
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260813-perso-ma35d1-upstream-clk-v1-1-e78e5e6172ea@xxxxxxxxxxx
