can you please provide a rationale why you need manual control over that
intermediate clock?
Well, From below graph, you can see that 'clk_usbphyX_480m' is generated
from usb2phy, and 'clk_usbphy_480m' which select from
clk_usbphyX_480m_src via a gate (G13[12]) provided 480M clock to other
modules.

| |__clk_usbphy_480m
| |__ ... ...
|
|__ clk_usb2phy1_ref
|
|__ clk_usbphy1_480m
|
|__clk_usbphy1_480m_src
The two usbphys seem to use the clk_usb2phyX_ref clocks, generate the
480m
clocks, but do not seem to need the clk_usbphyX_480m_src gates.
Yeah, they used to be. However, the story went something like this,

Some PM suspend process related ehci/ohci controller are base on 480m
clocks, unfortunately, usb2-phy suspended earlier than ehci/ohci
(usb2-phy will be auto suspended if no devices plug-in), and the
clk-480m provided by it was disabled if no module used. As a result, the
PM suspend process was blocked when it run into ehci/ohci module.
ah, so the ehci controller needs that 480m clock as well? Do you happen to
have example patches for the ehci/ohci side already? I'd like to peak at what
you mean with "some PM suspend process related" things.

Actually, no patches for it, I just make below steps manually :-).
1. set two usb2-phy into suspend mode.
2. disable 480m clock on each usb2-phy (assume only usb2-phy used it).
3. press power button let system into PM suspend.

Then, the kernel will be blocked and you can see the following log from console.
... ....

May I know have you tried reproducing on your board or not?


Depending on what is actually needed, you could also pull the usbphy out of
autosuspend in a pm-prepare callback of the phy driver itself ... see
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/pm.h#L86

Like
- in the .prepare callback make sure to unsuspend the phy
and deactivate the autosuspend
- ehci/ohci will poweroff the phy in it s suspend callback (already does that)

Hmm, do you remember that we have previously discussed there are some oddities in ehci/ohci driver? phy_power_on() gets called twice at ehci/ohci driver probe time, one is at pdata->power_on(); another is at usb_add_hcd(), then the power_count of phy increases to 2, but phy_power_off() is just invoked one time when ehci/ohci goes to PM suspend, so phy->ops->power_off is never be invoked.

In this way, the usb-phy maybe never go to suspend.

- suspend -> resume
- ehci/ohci will poweron the phy
- in the phy's .complete callback you can reactivate the autosuspend timer

Because it looks more like you actually need the phy and not the clock alone.
So it would be nicer to use mechanisms already in place instead of creating
new dependencies.


Theoretically, phy_init() will be invoked when ehci/ohci power on, and the sm_work will be reactivated (have already implemented) in phy->ops->init, but unfortunately, the same issue as phy_power_on() mentioned above, it never run there too .


Would you like to give some comments on above two oddities please?

BR.

Hence, we are planing to refer clk_usbphyX_480m_src into each ehci/ohci
driver. Maybe you will challenge why not refer clk_usbphy_480m directly?
because there are two ehci/ohci connected in the different usb2phy, and
only one clk_usbphy_480m clock was selected in clock tree.
Nope, no argument from me as I fully understand that each phy provides its own
480m clock :-) .
