Hello,
I'm updating the device tree of my custom board, using iMX6QDL, from Linux 3.14 to Linux 4.1, and I found this change, that appears to be made by AnsonHuang:
diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl.dtsi b/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl.dtsi
index 70d7207..8de2801 100644 --- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl.dtsi
+++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl.dtsi @@ -401,8 +401,9 @@
reg = <0x02098000 0x4000>;
interrupts = <0 55 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
clocks = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPT_IPG>,

- clok-names = "ipg", "per";
+ <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPT_IPG_PER>,
+ <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPT_3M>;
+ clock-names = "ipg", "per", "osc_per";
If I apply this patch to my board the debug output changes this way:
BEFORE PATCH:
mxc_clocksource_init 66000000
Switching to timer-based delay loop, resolution 15ns
sched_clock: 32 bits at 66MHz [...]
AFTER PATCH:
mxc_clocksource_init 3000000
Switching to timer-based delay loop, resolution 333ns
sched_clock: 32 bits at 3000kHz [...]
My questions are:
- Should I keep this change?
- Will Linux (or my applications) run slower with this change?
- What are these clocks (ipg, per, osc_per) used for?
Sorry if my questions are trivial...
Kind Regards,
Roberto
