From: Hiago De Franco <hiago.fra...@toradex.com>
For the i.MX8X and i.MX8 family SoCs, when the Cortex-M core is powered
up and started by the Cortex-A core using the bootloader (e.g., via the
U-Boot bootaux command), both M-core and Linux run within the same SCFW
(System Controller Firmware) partition. With that, Linux has permission
to control the M-core.
But once the M-core is started by the bootloader, the SCFW automatically
enables its clock and sets the clock rate. If Linux later attempts to
enable the same clock via clk_prepare_enable(), the SCFW returns a
'LOCKED' error, as the clock is already configured by the SCFW. This
causes the probe function in imx_rproc.c to fail, leading to the M-core
power domain being shut down while the core is still running. This
results in a fault from the SCU (System Controller Unit) and triggers a
system reset.
To address this issue, ignore handling the clk for i.MX8X and i.MX8
M-core, as SCFW already takes care of enabling and configuring the
clock.
