Missing handling for polarity. Either refuse inverted polarity, or set the duty_cycle to state->period - state->duty_cycle in the inverted case.Will add the latter.quoted

+ rate = div64_u64(NSEC_PER_SEC, state->period);Please round up here, as .apply() should never implement a period bigger than requested. This also automatically improves the behaviour if state->period > NSEC_PER_SEC.Will do. I'm not sure if the underlying clock drivers guarantee the chosen rate to be rounded in line with that however, e.g. qcom SoC
This is a problem that most drivers have. Very few use clk_set_rate, but also clk_get_rate is subject to (much smaller) rounding issues. There doesn't seem to be an agreement that this is important enough to address.
clocks that I target use lookup tables to find the closest rate with known M/N config values and set that. (So unless one makes sure the table has all the required rates, period is not guaranteed.) This is not an issue for my use cases though: Don't think any of the led or haptic motor controllers I've seen in my devices need a perfect rate. I think this is another line into the "Limitations" description that was suggested later.quoted

+ ret = clk_set_rate(chip->clk, rate); + if (ret) + return ret; + + return clk_set_duty_cycle(chip->clk, state->duty_cycle, state->period);Is it possible to enable only after the duty cycle is set? This way we could prevent in some cases that a wrong setting makes it to the output.Will move clk_enable() as the last action. After that it makes more sense to "squash" two leftover checks for disabled state so will do that as well. ... Except moving it caused a nice big WARNING from my clock controller...

Unsure if this is something common or just a quirk of this specific driver but I'd rather take a little glitch on the output than make clock driver unhappy knowing how picky this hardware sometimes is...
I think clk_set_rate for a disabled clk isn't well defined. Best regards Uwe -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | https://www.pengutronix.de/ |
