This binding is a work-in-progress, and are based on some experimental
|
|
work by benh[1].
|
|
|
|
Sources of clock signal can be represented by any node in the device
|
|
tree. Those nodes are designated as clock providers. Clock consumer
|
|
nodes use a phandle and clock specifier pair to connect clock provider
|
|
outputs to clock inputs. Similar to the gpio specifiers, a clock
|
|
specifier is an array of zero, one or more cells identifying the clock
|
|
output on a device. The length of a clock specifier is defined by the
|
|
value of a #clock-cells property in the clock provider node.
|

|
|
|
|
==Clock providers==
|
|
|
|
Required properties:
|
|
#clock-cells: Number of cells in a clock specifier; Typically 0 for nodes
|
|
with a single clock output and 1 for nodes with multiple
|
|
clock outputs.
|
|
|
|
Optional properties:
|
|
clock-output-names: Recommended to be a list of strings of clock output signal
|
|
names indexed by the first cell in the clock specifier.
|
|
However, the meaning of clock-output-names is domain
|
|
specific to the clock provider, and is only provided to
|
|
encourage using the same meaning for the majority of clock
|
|
providers. This format may not work for clock providers
|
|
using a complex clock specifier format. In those cases it
|
|
is recommended to omit this property and create a binding
|
|
specific names property.
|
|
|
|
Clock consumer nodes must never directly reference
|
|
the provider's clock-output-names property.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
oscillator {
|
|
#clock-cells = <1>;
|
|
clock-output-names = "ckil", "ckih";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
- this node defines a device with two clock outputs, the first named
|
|
"ckil" and the second named "ckih". Consumer nodes always reference
|
|
clocks by index. The names should reflect the clock output signal
|
|
names for the device.
|
|
|
|
==Clock consumers==
|
|
|
|
Required properties:
|
|
clocks: List of phandle and clock specifier pairs, one pair
|
|
for each clock input to the device. Note: if the
|
|
clock provider specifies '0' for #clock-cells, then
|
|
only the phandle portion of the pair will appear.
|
|
|
|
Optional properties:
|
|
clock-names: List of clock input name strings sorted in the same
|
|
order as the clocks property. Consumers drivers
|
|
will use clock-names to match clock input names
|
|
with clocks specifiers.
|
|
clock-ranges: Empty property indicating that child nodes can inherit named
|
|
clocks from this node. Useful for bus nodes to provide a
|
|
clock to their children.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
device {
|
|
clocks = <&osc 1>, <&ref 0>;
|
|
clock-names = "baud", "register";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
This represents a device with two clock inputs, named "baud" and "register".
|
|
The baud clock is connected to output 1 of the &osc device, and the register
|
|
clock is connected to output 0 of the &ref.
|
|
|
|
==Example==
|
|
|
|
/* external oscillator */
|
|
osc: oscillator {
|
|
compatible = "fixed-clock";
|
|
#clock-cells = <1>;
|
|
clock-frequency = <32678>;
|
|
clock-output-names = "osc";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
/* phase-locked-loop device, generates a higher frequency clock
|
|
* from the external oscillator reference */
|
|
pll: pll@4c000 {
|
|
compatible = "vendor,some-pll-interface"
|
|
#clock-cells = <1>;
|
|
clocks = <&osc 0>;
|
|
clock-names = "ref";
|
|
reg = <0x4c000 0x1000>;
|
|
clock-output-names = "pll", "pll-switched";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
/* UART, using the low frequency oscillator for the baud clock,
|
|
* and the high frequency switched PLL output for register
|
|
* clocking */
|
|
uart@a000 {
|
|
compatible = "fsl,imx-uart";
|
|
reg = <0xa000 0x1000>;
|
|
interrupts = <33>;
|
|
clocks = <&osc 0>, <&pll 1>;
|
|
clock-names = "baud", "register";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
This DT fragment defines three devices: an external oscillator to provide a
|
|
low-frequency reference clock, a PLL device to generate a higher frequency
|
|
clock signal, and a UART.
|
|
|
|
* The oscillator is fixed-frequency, and provides one clock output, named "osc".
|
|
* The PLL is both a clock provider and a clock consumer. It uses the clock
|
|
signal generated by the external oscillator, and provides two output signals
|
|
("pll" and "pll-switched").
|
|
* The UART has its baud clock connected the external oscillator and its
|
|
register clock connected to the PLL clock (the "pll-switched" signal)
