From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com> There is hardware issue that: The output clock the LPCG cell will not turn back on as expected, even though a read of the IPG registers in the LPCG indicates that the clock should be enabled. The software workaround is to write twice to enable the LPCG clock output. Signed-off-by: Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com>Does this need a Fixes tag?Not sure as it's not code logic issue but a hardware bug. And 4.19 LTS still have not this driver support.
Looks like there is an errata for this issue, and Ranjani just sent a patch for review internally, Back-to-back LPCG writes can be ignored by the LPCG register due to a HW bug. The writes need to be separated by atleast 4 cycles of the gated clock. The workaround is implemented as follows: 1. For clocks running greater than 50MHz no delay is required as the delay in accessing the LPCG register is sufficient. 2. For clocks running greater than 23MHz, a read followed by the write will provide the sufficient delay. 3. For clocks running below 23MHz, LPCG is not used. Need double check?
