SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 3/3] mmc: Add driver for LiteX's LiteSDCard interface
Hi Geert,

I think I figured out a solution, see below:

Assuming LiteX's `litex_json2dts_linux.py` is modified to include:

...
clocks {
sys_clk: litex_sys_clk {
#clock-cells = <0>;
compatible = "fixed-clock";
clock-frequency = <50000000>;
};
};
...

in the generated .dts (where `clock-frequency` is whatever the sys_clk
happens to be for that particular SoC gateware), we can then write the
mmc node like so:

soc {
...
mmc0: mmc@12005000 {
compatible = "litex,mmc";
reg = <0x12005000 0x100>,
<0x12003800 0x100>,
<0x12003000 0x100>,
<0x12004800 0x100>,
<0x12004000 0x100>;
reg-names = "phy", "core", "reader", "writer", "irq";
clocks = <&sys_clk>;
interrupt-parent = <&L1>;
interrupts = <4>;
};
...
};

The LiteSDCard clock initialization can then look like this:

...
/* initialize clock source */
clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, NULL);
if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
ret = PTR_ERR(clk);
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "can't get clock: %d\n", ret);
goto err;
}
host->freq = clk_get_rate(clk); /* source (sys_clock) frequency */
host->clock = 0; /* calculated sdclock frequency */
...

As discussed before, I'll post a `litex_json2dts_linux.py` patch once
we've settled on a mutually agreeable solution, but I think this might
be it. If you agree, I'll also update the DT binding document to
require `clocks` as part of the mmc node.

I tested this in my v3 candidate, and it seems to be working OK.

LMK what you think, and/or if you have any suggestions for additional
improvements.

Thanks again,
--Gabriel
