Great to see that you've started working on this again. Last weekend I ended up working on this too together with Reinder E.N. de Haan [off-list ref] (added to the Cc). We took a slightly different approach for the gates clocks, see: https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/commits/sunxi-wip And specifically: https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/commit/80a1afe319d5d1a0c426d42e75d37f0c64e8ea0b Combined with: https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/commit/d508da5feb5048f6674d6b24b58ac9058fb9d877 This deals with the per gate parents the same way the rockchip clock code does, and it seems to be quite a bit less code then your solution. So now we've two solutions to chose from :) Since you seem to be back to working on this I'll refrain from doing any further work, at least without coordinating. Maxime, can you let us know which solution for the gates clock parents is best, or tell us if you think both solutions are no good :)
I'd actually prefer your solution. I duplicated the simple-gates code when trying a different approach and never revisited that decision.
(I wanted to get in touch with you about the work done this weekend, but your posting of this v3 has sorta pre-empted that). Other then the slightly different solution for the gates, the code in my tree is a straight forward port of your v2. Thanks for your work on this! Regards, Hans p.s. I'm teaching a kernel driver course at my local hackerspace in the netherlands: https://revspace.nl/KernelDriverProgrammingCourse2015 Which is where our work on this this weekend originated. The next planned course day is November 1st and I expect Reinder to be working on the H3 again then. I think the plan was to tackle USB next. Reinder can you confirm this ? If you (Jens) want to work on USB before then, that is fine, but please coordinate their is plenty to do, so no need for us to be doing (more) double work.
I don't plan to work on USB soon, my next step would have been Ethernet and finishing the basic u-boot support. You know my u-boot H3 wip tree I hope? Before we duplicate our work there too... https://github.com/jemk/u-boot-sunxi/tree/sunxi/h3 Jens
