The clocks for the Qualcomm Debug Subsystem (QDSS) are managed by aoss_qmp
through a mailbox. However, the camera block resides outside the AP domain,
meaning its QDSS clock cannot be controlled via aoss_qmp.

Which clock drives it then?

It's qcom,aoss-qmp.

clk_prepare->qmp_qdss_clk_prepare
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.15-rc7/source/drivers/soc/qcom/qcom_aoss.c#L280

I'm confused about this part:

However, the camera block resides outside the AP domain,
meaning its QDSS clock cannot be controlled via aoss_qmp.

Do we need to poke the QMP of another DRV?

The AOSS has a clock control register for all QDSS clocks. when we vote the qdss clock, the aoss_qmp driver will send a message to AOSS to enable the clock control register, then the clock control register will enable all QDSS clocks.

The QDSS clock is not a single clock source, it is a term that representing all the clock sources utilized by the QDSS.

What I'm trying to ask is, is there any way we could enable that
clock from Linux? Can the camera hw turn these on? Maybe we could
trick it into enabling them?

There is a power issue if we keep the debug clock on with a long time.

We had a discussion with AOP to check if possible to add the debug clock of titan to the QDSS clock list, but they need time to evaluate it.

From Coresight view, what we can do by now is disable it in DT to prevent the unexpected NoC error.

Thanks,
Jie
