dt-bindings: clock: Replace common binding with link to schema
The contents of the clock binding have been moved to the clock binding schema in the dtschema repository. The desire is for common bindings to be hosted in the dtschema repository. Replace the contents with a link to the clock binding schema as there are still many references to clock-bindings.txt in the tree. This will prevent additions without a schema.

This binding is a work-in-progress, and are based on some experimental
2-
work by benh[1].
3-
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.

==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.

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)

==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-
};
