video: da8xx-fb: set upstream clock rate (if reqd)
Based on original patch by: Afzal Mohammed <afzal@ti.com> LCDC IP has a clock divider to adjust pixel clock, this limits pixel clock range to fck/255 - fck/2(fck - rate of input clock to LCDC IP). In the case of AM335x, where this IP is present, default fck is not sufficient to provide normal pixel clock rates, hence rendering this driver unusable on AM335x. If input clock too is configurable, allowable range of pixel clock would increase. Here initially it is checked whether with present fck, divider in IP could be configured to obtain required rate, if not, fck is adjusted. This makes it usable on AM335x. Note: Another solution would be to model an inherited basic clock divider of CCF, an advantage would be a better possible resolution for pixel clk. And trying to instantiate a CCF clock would mean that to be consistent, 3 bits being turned on to enable clocks of LCDC IP would have to be modeled as gate clocks. Now that would bring in a total of 4 clocks, including necessity to create a new inherited divider clock, and that mean a branch of clock tree would be present in LCDC driver. This would add complexity to LCDC driver bringing in considerable amount of clock handling code, and this would not bring in much advantage for existing use cases other than providing a higher resolution of pixel clock. And existing use cases work without relying on clock modeling. Another fact is that out of the two platform's using this driver DaVinci is not yet converted to CCF. In future if higher resolution of pixel clock is required, and probably after DaVinci is CCF'ed, modeling clock nodes inside driver may be considered. v2: purely cosmetic changes to try and clarify what variables are being used for in the clock rate / divider calculations Signed-off-by: Darren Etheridge <detheridge@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ti.com>
