[ Sending again in plain text ]
Noralf pointed me at fixed-factor-clock, and that works in our
(downstream) environment:
soc: soc {
...
uart1: uart@7e215040 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-uart", "ns16550";
reg = <0x7e215040 0x40>;
interrupts = <1 29>;
clocks = <&clk_uart1>;
reg-shift = <2>;
no-loopback-test;
status = "disabled";
};
};
clocks: clocks {
...
clk_core: clock@2 {
compatible = "fixed-clock";
reg = <2>;
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-output-names = "core";
clock-frequency = <250000000>;
};
...
clk_uart1: clock@6 {
compatible = "fixed-factor-clock";
clocks = <&clk_core>;
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-div = <1>;
clock-mult = <2>;
};
};
