SCMI_CLOCK_CFG_OEM_START = 0x80, + SCMI_CLOCK_CFG_IMX_SSC = 0x80,TI is also planning to implement the same in our upcoming platform. so can we use a generic ID instead of vender specfic message ID?I tried to push to new generic ID [1] in half a year ago, but in the end ARM decided not to add generic ID for spread spectrum support. To i.MX, it is too late to use a generic ID and waiting spec, i.MX firmware has been public for quite some time and passed severalexternal releases.quoted
So I need to use what our firmware adds and spec allows: vendor extension.Thanks for the quick response, Since this implementation is specific to i.MX, can you move this to a vendor specific file, so that it will not break i.MX's firmware and TI can implement SSC in TI specific file.
i.MX has encountered issue with pinctrl-scmi.c and pinctrl-imx-scmi.c both supports SCMI PINCTRL. Current linux scmi does not support both drivers built in kernel image, because scmi devlink issue. Sudeep said he would address the devlink issue in 6.19 cycle. Given the current situation, I'm hesitant to introduce a new driver saying clk-imx-scmi.c. What I'm unclear about is whether moving to a vendor-specific file implies creating a new driver (i.e., clk-imx-scmi.c), or if it could be handled via a callback or another mechanism. Could you help clarify the intended direction? Sudeep, Cristian Would you please jump in and say something? Thanks, Peng.
