[PATCH v6 4/6] clk: samsung: add Exynos ACPM clock driver
Posted by Tudor Ambarus 2 months ago
Add the Exynos ACPM clock driver. It provides support for clocks that
are controlled by firmware that implements the ACPM interface.

I merged the patches but I don't get why we are not enabling it by
default, just like every other clock driver. What is so special here?

Thanks! Are you referring to the depends on line? I needed it otherwise
on randconfigs where COMPILE_TEST=y and EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=n I get:

ERROR: modpost: "devm_acpm_get_by_node" [drivers/clk/samsung/clk-acpm.ko] undefined!

I don't understand that part. The depends on statement "COMPILE_TEST &&
!EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL" is equivalent to COMPILE_TEST=y and
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=n, so are you trying to avoid
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=y when COMPILE_TEST=y?

This is the standard kconfig module dependency to avoid having built-in
when other is module:
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL || !EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL
It is used everywhere and already documented.

Now, the only difference here is that !EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL is actually
not meaningful for the driver, because it is not an optional dependency,
thus we allow this only for compile testing, therefore:
|| COMPILE_TEST && !EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL.

My previous comment was misleading.
The depends on line allows CONFIG_EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK to be selected in two
main scenarios:
1/ if EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL is enabled the clock driver that uses it can
   be enabled (the normal case).
2/ COMPILE_TEST is enabled AND EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL is NOT enabled. This
   is the special scenario for build testing. I want to build test the
   clock driver even if EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL is NOT enabled. For that I
   also needed the following patch:

What I described in 2/ EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL [=n] && EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK [=y] 
can be achieved with a more relaxed:
depends on EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL || COMPILE_TEST
because of the stub (dummy method) that I referenced in the link above.

It's really what Krzysztof explained in his reply, I wanted to avoid
the link failure for COMPILE_TEST [=y] when
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL [=m] && EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK [=y].

We have the following possibilities with:
depends on EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL || (COMPILE_TEST && !EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL)
1/ CONMPILE_TEST=n
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=n EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=m EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=y EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m,y

2/COMPILE_TEST=y
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=n EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m,y
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=m EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=y EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m,y

We have the following possibilities with:
depends on EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL || COMPILE_TEST
1/ CONMPILE_TEST=n
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=n EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=m EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=y EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m,y

2/COMPILE_TEST=y
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=n EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m,y
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=m EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m,y <- link failure when y
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL=y EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK=n,m,y

No. I am referring to missing default and defconfig patch.

default m or y would force compilation of EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK and
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL for all ARCH_EXYNOS, even on Exynos platforms that
don't use ACPM. Since ACPM is not universally required by the Exynos
architecture, I thought to make it opt-in (default n).

Setting it as a module in arm64 defconfig makes it available on
compatible platforms.

Similar clock drivers do the same: CLK_RASPBERRYPI.
COMMON_CLK_SCPI, COMMON_CLK_SCMI - no defaults and set them as builtin
in the arm64 defconfig.

Just like every clock driver. So again - how is it different?

I am speaking about Samsung drivers.

The key difference lies in the universality of the hardware interface
across the ARCH_EXYNOS family. If EXYNOS_AUDSS_CLK_CON, EXYNOS_CLKOUT
are considered core, integral, or nearly universal features across
Exynos SoCs, then it's alright to have them by default. I can't tell how
common is ACPM across the Samsung Exynos SoCs. I know it's present on
gs{1,2)01 and e850. Heard it mentioned around some other phone but I
can't remember which. Maybe we shall set to a default m when more users
reveal themselves? I'm of course open to drop the defconfig patch and
follow up with a patch setting EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK to
"default m if ARCH_EXYNOS" if you think it's common enough.

OK, we can wait till one more user appears. Although the choice is less
about universality, but rather if this is a core SoC element. If this is
a core SoC element, then SoC ARCH should select it (not allow to disable
it), even if this is only for one ARCH_EXYNOS SoC.
