Ok, will try this.

Let me share more details about this. Then if ok, I'll put in commit log and post
V2.

There is no errata, this is the hardware designed as is and it exist since i.MX7D.
i.MX8M and i.MX7D using same CCM root design.

It support target(smart) interface and normal interface. Target interface is exported
for programmer easy to configure ccm root. Normal interface is also
exported, but we not use it in our driver, because it will introduce more
complexity compared with target interface.

>From RM:
"
The Target Interface is optimized to simplify software operation. Using this interface, all
clock roots are in the same program model with the same register bit field mapping. The
software does not handle the details of the clock slice and clock slice types. Software
writes the desired settings to the register, and the internal hardware logic generates a
required sequence to achieve the desired settings.
"

>From i.MX8MN RM:
"
A requirement of the Target Interface's software is that the
target clock source is active.
"

We touch target interface, but hardware logic actually also need configure normal interface.

I draw a simple normal interface for core clock slice pic:

CLK[0-7] --------->SEL_A ----->-----CG---->|
         |                        \
         |                          mux-->post_podf-->
         V                        /                   
         |------>SEL_B------>---CG---->| /


The mux in the upper pic is not the target interface MUX, target interface MUX is
hiding SEL_A and SEL_B. When you choose clk[0-7], you are actually writing
SEL_A or SEL_B depends on the internal counter which will also control the
internal "mux".

Whether the hardware touch SEL_A or SEL_B, it requires the clock input to
SEL_A or SEL_B must be active. However SEL_A and SEL_B could have
different value. Saying SEL_A is clk1, SEL_B is clk4, the internal counter
controlled automatically by hardware logic choose SEL_A, then Linux will
disable clk4 because of no user. Now we write target MUX to choose clk5,
the internal counter will configure SEL_B to clk5 and switch to SEL_B,
however the previous SEL_B input clk4 is off, system hang, the hardware
requires SEL_B input clk4 is on, then hardware could configure SEL_B to
clk5.

That's why write twice to make sure the internal counter could select
SEL_A and SEL_B to same active input clk.

Please see whether this clarify the issue or not. I could post the upper
into commit log in V3. The fixes needs to be into 5.7 to avoid system
boot hang.

Thanks,
Peng.
