Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] clk: Add PWM clock driver
Hi,
I've fixed my pwm driver and I can enable 12MHz 50% output using sysfs.
Then I rebased the pwm-clock to 3.14.
I have connected mcp2515 and it works with fixed clock. When I switch
the chip's clock to pwm clock in dt
I get "mcp251x: probe of spi1.2 failed with error -2". I've also added
clock-frequency property
but it didn't help.
When I set the mcp2515 clock to fixed clock again but the clock is not
applied to mcp2515 I get
"mcp251x spi1.2: MCP251x didn't enter in conf mode after reset".
So it looks this is indeed probe error caused likely by dt.
The fixed and pwm clock in DT:
clocks {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
ranges;
mcp251x_xtal_clk: mcp2515_xtal {
compatible = "fixed-clock";
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-frequency = <12000000>;
};
mcp251x_pwm_clk: mcp2515_pwm {
compatible = "pwm-clock";
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-frequency = <12000000>;
clock-output-names = "can_clk";
pwms = <&pwm 3 83>; /* 12MHz = 1 / ~83ns */
};
};
Also the mentioned frequency recalculation problem appears here.
In the case above recalc value is about 12.048MHz instead of 12.0MHz.
While PWM block is clocked 24MHz and the pwm generates exactly 12MHz
the pwm-clock driver returns drifted value. Using clock-frequency like
fixed-clock does could simply solve the binding problem.
thanks,
Janusz
