Clocks are an important feature of platforms and have become increasing complex with time. Most modern SoCs have multiple PLLs and dozens of clock dividers which distribute clocks to on-chip peripherals. Some SoC implementations have a clock API which is private to that SoC family, e.g. Tegra and Exynos. This is useful but it would be better to have a common API that can be understood and used throughout U-Boot. Add a simple clock API as a starting point. It supports querying and setting the rate of a clock. Each clock is a device. To reduce memory and processing overhead the concept of peripheral clocks is provided. These do not need to be explicit devices - it is possible to write a driver that can adjust the I2C clock (for example) without an explicit I2C clock device. This can dramatically reduce the number of devices (and associated overhead) in a complex SoC. Clocks are referenced by a number, and it is expected that SoCs will define that numbering themselves via an enum. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

This allows drivers to be provided for clock generators, including
|
|
oscillators and PLLs. Devices can use a common clock API to request
|
|
a particular clock rate and check on available clocks. Clocks can
|
|
feed into other clocks in a tree structure, with multiplexers to
|
|
choose the source for each clock.

The clock subsystem adds a small amount of overhead to the image.
|
|
If this is acceptable and you have a need to use clock drivers in
|
|
SPL, enable this option. It might provide a cleaner interface to
|
|
setting up clocks within SPL, and allows the same drivers to be
|
|
used as U-Boot proper.
