A clock multiplier property seems redundant if you are specifying a clock.
It should be possible to get the rate from the clock to determine which
multiplier is needed.


I probably should have named it differently. This is not a multiplier
of a clock derived from PLL0 or PLL1. Instead it's a value set by
writing to the Port PHY Control Register (MPY bits) of the SATA
controller that configures the multiplier for the external low-jitter
clock. On the lcdk the signals (REFCLKP, REFCLKN) are provided by
CDCM61001 (SATA OSCILLATOR component on the schematics).

I'll find a better name and comment the property accordingly.

FYI: the da850 platform does not use the common clock framework, so I
don't specify the clock property on the sata node in the device tree.
Instead I add the clock lookup entry in patch [01/10]. This is
transparent for AHCI which can get the clock as usual by calling
clk_get() in ahci_platform_get_resources().

I think David's point is that the SATA_REFCLK needs to be modeled as a
actual clock input to the IP. You should be able to get the rate using
clk_get_rate() and make the MPY bits calculation depending on the
incoming rate.

You should be able to model the clock even when not using common clock
framework.

DA850 AHCI does not use a con_id at the moment (it assumes a single
clock), and that needs to change.


It's true that once davinci gets ported (is this planned?) to using
the common clock framework, we could just create a fixed-clock node in
da850-lcdk for the SATA oscillator, so the new property is redundant.


I have some commits[1] where I started on converting da850 to use the common clock framework. But, I don't know anything about other davinci family devices, so I don't think I could really take that to completion without lots of help.

What I don't get is how should I model a clock that is not
configurable and is board-specific? Is hard-coding the relevant rate
in da850.c with a huge FIXME the right way?

In arch/arm/mach-davinci/usb-da8xx.c, there is a "usb_refclkin" that is very similar to the situation with the sata refclk. You could do something like this to register the clock...

Then to get things working from device tree, add this...
