NAK. I'm not sure whether you've realised, but this is exactly what the
'round_rate' method is supposed to be doing. It provides a method by
which you can find out what the clock rate would be if you asked for
'set_rate' to set the hardware to the requested rate.
A far better way to approach this would be to split the set_rate/recalc
functionality into two parts:
1. a method which returns the both the new clock rate and the hardware
programming information
2. a method to commit the hardware programming information to the registers
(1) can be used for implementing clk_round_rate() (which is totally lacking
in OMAP2+, yet is implemented in OMAP1), clk_set_rate(), clk_set_parent()
etc.
(2) can be used when it's required to actually reprogram the hardware.
So, rather than the current situation where we have recalc, round_rate
and set_rate methods, we have calc_rate() and commit() methods instead
and have the core clock code sort out calling these.
IOW, clk_set_rate() and clk_round_rate() becomes:
int clk_set_rate(struct clk *clk, unsigned long rate)
{
unsigned long flags;
int ret = -EINVAL;
spin_lock_irqsave(&clockfw_lock, flags);
if (clk->calc_rate) {
unsigned long parent_rate = 0;
struct clk_hw hw;
if (clk->parent)
parent_rate = clk->parent->rate;
ret = clk->calc_rate(clk, parent_rate, &rate, &hw);
if (ret == 0) {
clk->rate = rate;
clk->commit(clk, &hw);
}
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clockfw_lock, flags);
return ret;
}
long clk_round_rate(struct clk *clk, unsigned long rate)
{
unsigned long flags;
long ret;
spin_lock_irqsave(&clockfw_lock, flags);
if (clk->calc_rate) {
unsigned long parent_rate = 0;
struct clk_hw hw;
if (clk->parent)
parent_rate = clk->parent->rate;
ret = clk->calc_rate(clk, parent_rate, &rate, &hw);
if (ret == 0)
ret = rate;
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clockfw_lock, flags);
return ret;
}
