Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 6/9] interconnect: qcom: rpm: Handle interface clocks
Hi Konrad,
Thank you for working on this and sorry about jumping a bit late into
the discussion.

These "interface" clocks seem to be used only to program QoS for the
respective ip block (eg ufs). So if we don't program QoS, there should
be no crashes, right?
I believe that in downstream they defer setting QoS until the first
non-zero bandwidth request because of drivers that probe asynchronously
or there is some firmware booting involved (IPA maybe). And bad stuff
might happen if we touch the clock while the firmware is still booting.
So setting the QoS on the first non-zero bandwidth request might not be
a bad idea. Such nodes should probably be also excluded from sync_state
by implementing get_bw() to return 0 bandwidth.
BR,
Georgi
