SubjectRe: [PATCH] clk: add si5351 i2c common clock driver
From
Daniel,

first of all sorry for the late answer but thanks for testing the driver.

I guess "fixed-clock" isn't registered by OMAP's clock init code? I had
to do this on dove, too. Actually, I will come back to clock initialization for
dove later and was hoping that there will be some global way of registering
core common clock drivers (or at least fixed-clock) until then.

Ok, I guess I was deriving "unsigned char" usage from other clock drivers
and never went to u8. But I ll reconsider using u8 when all issues are
worked out.

Yeah, true. Unfortunately, _clkout_reparent() is more like a dirty hack to
allow to reparent the clock output. At registration internal configuration of
si5351 is not known and when I parse the DT for clock configuration I might
have been already assigned to the same parent clk that you later explicitly
configure.

What I basically want for si5351 (or any other eeprom based programmable
clock gen) is that stored configuration is not touched. But it can be changed
after eeprom contents have been copied into device's sram - and this _is_
mandatory for the si5351 that I use on CuBox where there is no useful config
stored at all.

Anyway, there still seem to be some more issues with doing it right on current
common clk framwork - thanks for pointing it out.

I am happy to hear that you can reproduce different frequencies successfully!

But as you already pointed out before, it would be great to have some long-term
jitter measurements. I hope the heuristic taken from the referenced Silicon Labs
application note will still meet jitter requirements. Still, as stated
on my initial post,
the pll settings obtained for different frequencies differ from that
the provided
windows tool spits out.
