I think we should use auxiliary bus and split the driver logically into a reset driver in drivers/reset and a clk driver in drivers/clk. That way the appropriate maintainers can review the code. There is only one platform device with a single reg property and node in DT, but there are two drivers.Yes, I agree that the reset driver and the clock driver should be split. However, I think using auxiliary bus is a little bit complicated in this case, because the reset is not a part of functionality of the clock in JH7110. They just share a common register base address.That is why auxiliary bus exists.quoted
I think it is better to use ioremap for the same address, and the dt will be like syscrg_clk: clock-controller@13020000 { compatible = "starfive,jh7110-clkgen-sys"; reg = <0x0 0x13020000 0x0 0x10000>; ... }; syscrg_rst: reset-controller@13020000 { compatible = "starfive,jh7110-reset-sys"; reg = <0x0 0x13020000 0x0 0x10000>; ... }; What do you think of this approach? I would appreciate your suggestions.We shouldn't have two different nodes with the same reg property. Please ioremap in whatever driver probes and creates the auxiliary device(s) and then pass the void __iomem * to it.
Okay, I will use auxiliary bus for clock and reset driver on the next version. Best regards, Hal
