From: Stephen Boyd Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2018 19:40:10 +0000 (-0800) Subject: dt-bindings: clk: Introduce 'protected-clocks' property X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=48d7f160b10711f014bf07b574c73452646c9fdd;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git dt-bindings: clk: Introduce 'protected-clocks' property Add a generic clk property for clks which are not intended to be used by the OS due to security restrictions put in place by firmware. For example, on some Qualcomm firmwares reading or writing certain clk registers causes the entire system to reboot, but on other firmwares reading and writing those same registers is required to make devices like QSPI work. Rather than adding one-off properties each time a new set of clks appears to be protected, let's add a generic clk property to describe any set of clks that shouldn't be touched by the OS. This way we never need to register the clks or use them in certain firmware configurations.
