I mean the device we discuss here, in this binding. Whatever this device is. CCM or CCX > CCM does not care, it just accepts the PLL as input, and output Takes PLL as input but you refuse to add it as clocks? Are you really responding to my question? I asked how can you set spread spectrum on clock which you do not receive. Why you do not receive? Because you refuse to add it to clocks even though I speak about this since months. > divided clock to various IPs(Video here). The video IPs care about > the spread spectrum of the clock. So which device do we talk about? I am not a NXP clock developer and I care zero about NXP, so keep it simple. We discuss this one specific binding for specific device which is called "imx8m-clock" - see subject prefix. > > The clock hardware path is as below: > > OSC(24M) --> Anatop(produce PLL with spread spectrum) -> > Clock Control Module(output clock to modules) -> Video IP > > From hardware perspective, Clock Control Module does not > care spread spectrum.

I don't understand now even more. Or I understand even less now. Why binding references its own clocks via phandle? This makes no sense at all, except of course assigned clocks, but that's because we have one property for multiple cases. Best regards, Krzysztof
