Previously we discussed how to implement dt-schema for audio clock controller in Amlogic SoC [1]. Also, there was an earlier attempt to convert to yaml [2].
Let me remind you that the problem is that only "pclk" clock of this controller. Other clocks are optional and they are allowed to be not routed.
I can suggest two approaches how to deal with this. Could you please tell me which of them is more correct?
Approach 1: use 'additionalItems' to declare optional clocks. Pros: - it is short and simple; - no need to modify existing DTSIs. Cons: - checking works but 'additionalItems' doesn't expect no-boolean value [3] - there is reasoning that all clocks should be specified ragardless if they are used or not [3][4].
Approach 2: assume that all clocks are mandatory and declare all of them. Pros: - it is more common and compatible with existing meta-schemas; - may be architecturally it is more correct. Cons: - boilerplate in schema and in DTSIs; - requires modification of existing DTSIs.
