i.MX8QM audio mclk not enabled

Hello,

I have a custom board with i.MX8QM and I'm noticing that the mclk0 output is not enabled.  This worked fine on Linux 5.15, but now that I've upgraded to Linux 6.1 the mclk0 is no longer working.  Please see clock summary below... the frequency of the clock is correct, but it is not enabled.  How do I get the mclk to be enabled?

Re: i.MX8QM audio mclk not enabled

I figured out the problem.  In the audio amplifier node I had an incorrect setting in the 6.1 kernel which caused this to not work.  Strange that there wasn't an error in the dmesg, but after fixing this incorrect configuration the mclk started working.  Thank you for your help!

Hi @joanxie,

Here is the output of the clock and dmesg from 5.15:

Re: i.MX8QM audio mclk not enabled

thanks for your information, do you mind sharing the dump clock and logfile for 5.15 bsp? let me double check it?

Re: i.MX8QM audio mclk not enabled

Hi @joanxie,

That's correct.  The same device tree that works on 5.15 does not work on 6.1.  There are minor changes in the 6.1 device tree due to compatibility (mainly the pcie), but otherwise largely the same device tree.  I've attached the output from dmesg.

Re: i.MX8QM audio mclk not enabled

the same device tree works on 5.15, but failed on 6.1? do you mind sharing your logfile?
