So how does this solve my comment > from v1? I'm trying Krzysztof. The clock controller uses two registers, 0x1004 and 0x100c, to manage whether a set of clock signals are enabled or not. (The reset controller uses two adjacent registers, 0x1008 and 0x1010, to manage whether a set of reset signals are asserted or not.) You said "no resources except a small address space" and I guess it's not clear to me what size is "big enough" to warrant representing something as a separate device. *One* of the managed clocks is a 25 MHz clock, exposed through a pin on the SoC. That one clock signal is therefore usable by the platform (although on the RB3gen2 it's not used). Rather than expose the register addresses in the clock node, a syscon is defined, covering 8 KB, and the actual offsets used are just defined in the clock and reset driver source code. If that's not the right thing to do, please say that. >>> What's more, I still do not see any usage of these clocks outside.

You said for example: >>> "Ultimately the TC9564 SoC has a single 25 MHz input clock," . . . >> The single exposed clock *might* justify presenting the >> clock controller device in devicetree.

It is not used by this platform, but is available for other platforms to use. Its name is "REFCLKO" and is exposed on ball C17 of the SoC, if a platform designer decided to use it. I only mention its existence as a reason to justify defining the clock as a separate device, but I realize you are arguing that I should do it somehow differently. -Alex > > Best regards, > Krzysztof
