I think I should first explain to you what this part is doing:
The driver needs to set Clk_source bit for TX/RX to select the
clock from a clock mux. The names listed above are those of the
clocks connecting to the mux, while they are not only internal
clocks which're included in clk-imx6q.c but also external ones,
an on-board external osc for example.
The driver does get the clock by using the standard DT binding,
see the 'clocks = <&clks 197>' above, and then compare this
obtained clock->name with the name list to decide which value
should be set to the Clk_source bit.
==================================================================
ClkSrc_Sel from i.MX6Q reference manual:
Clock source selection, all other settings not shown are reserved:
0000 if (DPLL Locked) SPDIF_RxClk else extal
0001 if (DPLL Locked) SPDIF_RxClk else spdif_clk
0010 if (DPLL Locked) SPDIF_RxClk else asrc_clk
0011 if (DPLL Locked) SPDIF_RxClk else spdif_extclk
0100 if (DPLL Locked) SPDIF_Rxclk else esai_hckt
0101 extal_clk
0110 spdif_clk
0111 asrc_clk
1000 spdif_extclk
1001 esai_hckt
1010 if (DPLL Locked) SPDIF_RxClk else mlb_clk
==================================================================
So the name list here basically is not being used to obtain a
clock like what standardized DT binding does but to provide the
driver a full list to look up which value should be exactly used
according to the obtained clock.
I think I should revise the binding doc for these two lists. It
might be hard to explain within that kinda short paragraph.
Surely, if I misunderstand your point, please correct me. And
if you have any sage idea, please guide me.
Thank you,
Nicolin Chen
