The EMC clock needs some extra information for changing its rate.

This seems to be a quite liberal use of unit addresses (same in the next
patch) - is this allowed by DT?

No, unit address should match a reg property.

Mmm, would you have any suggestion as to how this can be fixed? Right now what I can think of is either to replace the "clock-frequency" property by "reg" (which would be confusing), or to use a different naming scheme, e.g. timing-12750000. IIUC the naming is not essential for properly parsing these nodes, so maybe the second solution is the way to go?

The comma here is wrong. Commas should be used when you have something
like PCI bus:dev:func for addressing.

The number of cell's is really irrelevant to the example.

#reset-cells = <1>;

Why do you need both clocks and hardcoded values? clock-frequency is
the desired freq you want to set TEGRA124_CLK_PLL_P to?

That would be nvidia,parent-clock-frequency IIUC, while clock-frequency is the resulting EMC clock.


The clocks property really belongs as part of the memory controller
node or a memory device node.

I would tend to agree here. Tomeu, does it make sense to move these properties to the EMC driver instead?
