Add the obvious compatible name to the existing RTC binding.
The actual RTC part of the device uses a different day/month/year
storage scheme, so it's not compatible with the previous devices.
Also the clock part is quite different, as there is no external 32K LOSC
oscillator input.

You don't need both of them when they are equal

It's not entirely clear to me what those clocks are about though. If we
look at the clock output in the user manual, it looks like there's only
two clocks that are actually being output: the 32k "fanout" clock and
the losc. What are the 3 you're talking about?

Also, it looks like the 32k fanout clock needs at least the hosc or
pll-periph in input, so we probably don't want to ask for no parent
clock?

I see three: the raw SYSTEM "CLK32K_LOSC", the RTC input + debounce
clock (/32), and the multiplexed PAD.

Well, we never seem to reference the HOSC this way, this was always
somewhat explicit. And yes, there is PLL-PERIPH as an input, but we
don't support this yet. So I went with 0 input clocks *for now*: the
driver can then ignore all clocks, so any clock referenced in the DT
later won't cause any harm. This will all be addressed by Samuel's RTC
clock patch, which will also touch the H6, IIRC. And it looks like we
will need to touch the binding anyway then, but can then just *extend*
this.

The point is that everything works(TM) as of now: The consumers
(pinctrl) get their LOSC clock, and can go ahead. This is in the
interest to get us moving now, and refine the actual implementation
later. In this case this will only change the accuracy of the LOSC
frequency (HOSC/x, PLL/y, calibrated RC), but won't change the
semantics.

Cheers,
Andre

But the input and debounce clock is only for the RTC itself right? So it
should be local to the driver and doesn't need to be made available to
the other drivers

Either way, what this list is must be documented.

You mentioned that series several times already and never provided an
explanation for what it was supposed to be doing except fixing
everything. What's the general plan for that series?

Shouldn't they be exposed to be able to use assigned-clock?

I understood "debounce" as being the clock used for the pinctrl
debouncer. What would it debounce otherwise? Do you think that this
"debounce circuit" is something internal to the RTC and is totally
irrelevant for us?

But in general I looked at how many *different* clocks this diagram
describes, and I count: one unaltered ("SYSTEM"), one "div by
32" (RTC/debounce), and one multiplexed. My aim was to avoid
DT binding changes when we later discover we do need one of them for
something (as happened in the past). So three seemed to be the safe
choice here, to avoid surprises. In the worst case we just will never
reference one of them.

> Either way, what this list is must be documented.


You mean to overwrite the "description" stanza for clock-output-names?
And can this be done in the per-SoC parts in the later part of the
binding, keeping the existing description?

I'm not sure we would even need that? If it's an internal clock to the
RTC, then we probably won't ever need to change it from the device tree?

I'm pretty sure this is the debounce for the NMI and the SoC reset signal, not
the pinctrl. The pinctrl debounce clock pretty clearly references 32 kHz.

Plus RC16M/IOSC (and depending on how you look at it, DCXO24M/HOSC).

This is my fault for not sending anything yet. Since the initial version of the
driver had the RTC providing HOSC, it depended on converting the existing A100,
H6, and H616 CCU drivers to use .fw_name for parents, since those drivers
hardcode two different global names for HOSC. And I had no opportunit to do that
yet.

However, I should really send something that 100% matches the current binding
for SoCs where that exists (i.e. osc24M is a fixed clock), and doing so is a
smaller job.

On the other hand, having osc24M as an RTC *output* neatly sidesteps the fact
that it has been missing from the input list :)

(But on the other-other hand, A50 gets even more fun, as the HOSC crystal may
not be 24MHz anymore. So the RTC has to choose one of three possible HOSC->LOSC
dividers based on the HOSC frequency. But there is no register for HOSC
frequency. So in this case it is convenient to have HOSC as a separate fixed
clock input.)

The basic idea of my patch is that using the CCU library code lets us cleanly
have slightly different clock trees for each of the RTC variants that Allwinner
comes up with.

The secondary goal is to add support for osc32k calibration.

An early version of the patch is here[1], and I will send something as soon as I
have made the modifications described above. But I know you were skeptical about
moving the clock part out of the RTC driver. So if you NACK that, somebody will
have to add all of the variants to the RTC driver.

I don't think that's it.

The Debounce circuit is after the 32 divider, so we have a clock rate of
1kHz (Figure 3-35, page 275)

The PIO Interrupt debouncing can use either a 32kHz or 24MHz clock, so
the rates don't match, and given the naming would rather be clocked from
CLK32K_LOSC.

The DCXO_CTRL_REG (Section 3.13.6.13) hints at something different
though, it says:

"
CLK16M_RC_EN
1: Enable
0: Disable
The related register configuration is necessary to ensure the reset debounce
circuit has a stable clock source.
The first time SoC starts up, by default, the reset debounce circuit of SoC
uses 32K divided by RC16M. In power-off, software reads the related bit to
ensure whether EXT32K is working normally, if it is normal, first switch the
clock source of debounce circuit to EXT32K, then close RC16M.
Without EXT32K scenario or external RTC scenario, software confirms firstly
whether EXT32K is working normally before switching, or software does not
close RC16M.
"

I'm not sure why it would be useful for though

My concern is the pretty much the opposite: if we ever need to remove it
for whatever reason, if it's in the DT, we can't. While we can totally
add it if we need it.

Yes

Sure
