Subject: [PATCH RFC RFT v2 2/3] clk: divider: add CLK_DIVIDER_INVALID_ZERO flag
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 17:30:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029-meson_refactor_n-v2-2-ff4ac74e527b@amlogic.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029-meson_refactor_n-v2-0-ff4ac74e527b@amlogic.com>
From: Jian Hu <jian.hu@amlogic.com>
When a divider register reads zero, divider_recalc_rate() currently
emits a warning (unless CLK_DIVIDER_ALLOW_ZERO is set) and returns
the parent rate.
This behaviour assumes a zero divisor acts as a pass-through, which
does not apply to all hardware. Some dividers, for example PLL
pre-dividers on Amlogic SoCs, come out of reset with a zero value
that does not produce a usable clock. Returning the parent rate
hides this fault behind an incorrect, plausible value.
CLK_DIVIDER_ALLOW_ZERO only suppresses the warning while still
reporting the parent rate, so it cannot represent this hardware
behaviour.
Add CLK_DIVIDER_INVALID_ZERO for dividers where a zero divisor value
is invalid. When this flag is set, recalc_rate() returns 0, making
the faulty state visible to the clock framework rather than hiding it
as a pass-through.
