4 | | -Sources of clock signal can be represented by any node in the device |
5 | | -tree. Those nodes are designated as clock providers. Clock consumer |
6 | | -nodes use a phandle and clock specifier pair to connect clock provider |
7 | | -outputs to clock inputs. Similar to the gpio specifiers, a clock |
8 | | -specifier is an array of zero, one or more cells identifying the clock |
9 | | -output on a device. The length of a clock specifier is defined by the |
10 | | -value of a #clock-cells property in the clock provider node. |

14 | | -==Clock providers== |
15 | | - |
16 | | -Required properties: |
17 | | -#clock-cells: Number of cells in a clock specifier; Typically 0 for nodes |
18 | | - with a single clock output and 1 for nodes with multiple |
19 | | - clock outputs. |
20 | | - |
21 | | -Optional properties: |
22 | | -clock-output-names: Recommended to be a list of strings of clock output signal |
23 | | - names indexed by the first cell in the clock specifier. |
24 | | - However, the meaning of clock-output-names is domain |
25 | | - specific to the clock provider, and is only provided to |
26 | | - encourage using the same meaning for the majority of clock |
27 | | - providers. This format may not work for clock providers |
28 | | - using a complex clock specifier format. In those cases it |
29 | | - is recommended to omit this property and create a binding |
30 | | - specific names property. |
31 | | - |
32 | | - Clock consumer nodes must never directly reference |
33 | | - the provider's clock-output-names property. |
34 | | - |
35 | | -For example: |
36 | | - |
37 | | - oscillator { |
38 | | - #clock-cells = <1>; |
39 | | - clock-output-names = "ckil", "ckih"; |
40 | | - }; |
41 | | - |
42 | | -- this node defines a device with two clock outputs, the first named |
43 | | - "ckil" and the second named "ckih". Consumer nodes always reference |
44 | | - clocks by index. The names should reflect the clock output signal |
45 | | - names for the device. |
46 | | - |
47 | | -clock-indices: If the identifying number for the clocks in the node |
48 | | - is not linear from zero, then this allows the mapping of |
49 | | - identifiers into the clock-output-names array. |
50 | | - |
51 | | -For example, if we have two clocks <&oscillator 1> and <&oscillator 3>: |
52 | | - |
53 | | - oscillator { |
54 | | - compatible = "myclocktype"; |
55 | | - #clock-cells = <1>; |
56 | | - clock-indices = <1>, <3>; |
57 | | - clock-output-names = "clka", "clkb"; |
58 | | - } |
59 | | - |
60 | | - This ensures we do not have any empty strings in clock-output-names |
61 | | - |
62 | | - |
63 | | -==Clock consumers== |
64 | | - |
65 | | -Required properties: |
66 | | -clocks: List of phandle and clock specifier pairs, one pair |
67 | | - for each clock input to the device. Note: if the |
68 | | - clock provider specifies '0' for #clock-cells, then |
69 | | - only the phandle portion of the pair will appear. |
70 | | - |
71 | | -Optional properties: |
72 | | -clock-names: List of clock input name strings sorted in the same |
73 | | - order as the clocks property. Consumers drivers |
74 | | - will use clock-names to match clock input names |
75 | | - with clocks specifiers. |
76 | | -clock-ranges: Empty property indicating that child nodes can inherit named |
77 | | - clocks from this node. Useful for bus nodes to provide a |
78 | | - clock to their children. |
79 | | - |
80 | | -For example: |
81 | | - |
82 | | - device { |
83 | | - clocks = <&osc 1>, <&ref 0>; |
84 | | - clock-names = "baud", "register"; |
85 | | - }; |
86 | | - |
87 | | - |
88 | | -This represents a device with two clock inputs, named "baud" and "register". |
89 | | -The baud clock is connected to output 1 of the &osc device, and the register |
90 | | -clock is connected to output 0 of the &ref. |
91 | | - |
92 | | -==Example== |
93 | | - |
94 | | - /* external oscillator */ |
95 | | - osc: oscillator { |
96 | | - compatible = "fixed-clock"; |
97 | | - #clock-cells = <0>; |
98 | | - clock-frequency = <32678>; |
99 | | - clock-output-names = "osc"; |
100 | | - }; |
101 | | - |
102 | | - /* phase-locked-loop device, generates a higher frequency clock |
103 | | - * from the external oscillator reference */ |
104 | | - pll: pll@4c000 { |
105 | | - compatible = "vendor,some-pll-interface" |
106 | | - #clock-cells = <1>; |
107 | | - clocks = <&osc 0>; |
108 | | - clock-names = "ref"; |
109 | | - reg = <0x4c000 0x1000>; |
110 | | - clock-output-names = "pll", "pll-switched"; |
111 | | - }; |
112 | | - |
113 | | - /* UART, using the low frequency oscillator for the baud clock, |
114 | | - * and the high frequency switched PLL output for register |
115 | | - * clocking */ |
116 | | - uart@a000 { |
117 | | - compatible = "fsl,imx-uart"; |
118 | | - reg = <0xa000 0x1000>; |
119 | | - interrupts = <33>; |
120 | | - clocks = <&osc 0>, <&pll 1>; |
121 | | - clock-names = "baud", "register"; |
122 | | - }; |
123 | | - |
124 | | -This DT fragment defines three devices: an external oscillator to provide a |
125 | | -low-frequency reference clock, a PLL device to generate a higher frequency |
126 | | -clock signal, and a UART. |
127 | | - |
128 | | -* The oscillator is fixed-frequency, and provides one clock output, named "osc". |
129 | | -* The PLL is both a clock provider and a clock consumer. It uses the clock |
130 | | - signal generated by the external oscillator, and provides two output signals |
131 | | - ("pll" and "pll-switched"). |
132 | | -* The UART has its baud clock connected the external oscillator and its |
133 | | - register clock connected to the PLL clock (the "pll-switched" signal) |
134 | | - |
135 | | -==Assigned clock parents and rates== |
136 | | - |
137 | | -Some platforms may require initial configuration of default parent clocks |
138 | | -and clock frequencies. Such a configuration can be specified in a device tree |
139 | | -node through assigned-clocks, assigned-clock-parents and assigned-clock-rates |
140 | | -properties. The assigned-clock-parents property should contain a list of parent |
141 | | -clocks in the form of a phandle and clock specifier pair and the |
142 | | -assigned-clock-rates property should contain a list of frequencies in Hz. Both |
143 | | -these properties should correspond to the clocks listed in the assigned-clocks |
144 | | -property. |
145 | | - |
146 | | -To skip setting parent or rate of a clock its corresponding entry should be |
147 | | -set to 0, or can be omitted if it is not followed by any non-zero entry. |
148 | | - |
149 | | - uart@a000 { |
150 | | - compatible = "fsl,imx-uart"; |
151 | | - reg = <0xa000 0x1000>; |
152 | | - ... |
153 | | - clocks = <&osc 0>, <&pll 1>; |
154 | | - clock-names = "baud", "register"; |
155 | | - |
156 | | - assigned-clocks = <&clkcon 0>, <&pll 2>; |
157 | | - assigned-clock-parents = <&pll 2>; |
158 | | - assigned-clock-rates = <0>, <460800>; |
159 | | - }; |
160 | | - |
161 | | -In this example the <&pll 2> clock is set as parent of clock <&clkcon 0> and |
162 | | -the <&pll 2> clock is assigned a frequency value of 460800 Hz. |
163 | | - |
164 | | -Configuring a clock's parent and rate through the device node that consumes |
165 | | -the clock can be done only for clocks that have a single user. Specifying |
166 | | -conflicting parent or rate configuration in multiple consumer nodes for |
167 | | -a shared clock is forbidden. |
168 | | - |
169 | | -Configuration of common clocks, which affect multiple consumer devices can |
170 | | -be similarly specified in the clock provider node. |
171 | | - |
172 | | -==Protected clocks== |
173 | | - |
174 | | -Some platforms or firmwares may not fully expose all the clocks to the OS, such |
175 | | -as in situations where those clks are used by drivers running in ARM secure |
176 | | -execution levels. Such a configuration can be specified in device tree with the |
177 | | -protected-clocks property in the form of a clock specifier list. This property should |
178 | | -only be specified in the node that is providing the clocks being protected: |
179 | | - |
180 | | - clock-controller@a000f000 { |
181 | | - compatible = "vendor,clk95; |
182 | | - reg = <0xa000f000 0x1000> |
183 | | - #clocks-cells = <1>; |
184 | | - ... |
185 | | - protected-clocks = <UART3_CLK>, <SPI5_CLK>; |
186 | | - }; |
