Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 00/31] clk: mediatek: Cleanups and Improvements -
 Part 1

Hi, I couldn't find a particular patch to reply to so I'm replying cover
letter to give some input on the PLL subsystem.

In clk-pll.c there is an mtk_clk_register_pll function which at some point
executes this:

> init.ops = &mtk_pll_ops;

In my opinion there should be a possibility to define a custom mtk_pll_ops for a
given SoC instead of using a hardcoded one because not all Mediatek SoCs share
the same PLL startup/powerdown flow. For example, the existing mtk_pll_prepare
implementation won't work for the entire Mediatek Cortex-A9 SoC family (this
includes but not limited to mt6515, mt6517, mt6575, and mt6577).

This code sets a bit to 1 to start a PLL but the SoCs I mentioned above would
need to have that bit cleared (set to 0) [1] [2].

Another interesting thing in mtk_pll_prepare is
> 	udelay(20);
Is 20 ms a settle time for PLL? If yes then it would also be cool to specify an
arbitrary value easily as some PLLs have longer settle time [3] [4].

Worth noting the SoCs I mentioned aren't in mainline yet, and I think there are
more modern mainline-worthy Mediatek SoCs that might also need these changes in
the future.

Thanks.
