[PATCH v4 1/6] clk: correct clk_div_mask() return value for width == 32
Posted by Junhui Liu 1 month, 1 week ago
The macro clk_div_mask() currently wraps to zero when width is 32 due to
1 << 32 being undefined behavior. This leads to incorrect mask generation
and prevents correct retrieval of register field values for 32-bit-wide
dividers.

Although it is unlikely to exhaust all U32_MAX div, some clock IPs may rely
on a 32-bit val entry in their div_table to match a div, so providing a
full 32-bit mask is necessary.

Fix this by casting 1 to long, ensuring proper behavior for valid widths up
to 32.

That makes no difference on 32bit architectures.
I also suspect you need to ensure the value is 'unsigned int'.
If you can guarantee that width isn't zero (probably true), then:
#define clk_div_mask(width) ((2u << (width) - 1) - 1)
should have the desired value for widths 1..32.
It probably adds an extra instruction.
(OTOH so does passing width as 'u8'.)

You're right. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for your suggestion. After further consideration, I prefer using
the standard GENMASK macro instead:

#define clk_div_mask(width) GENMASK((width) - 1, 0)

Using a unified kernel macro is better for maintenance and it also
benefits from the compile time checks in GENMASK for constant inputs.
This approach also supports a width range of 1..32, and even up to 64 on
64-bit architectures.
