imx8mp clock registration errors

[sureshkrishna]

Hi Community,

For sound-wm8960 configuration using sai3, but the sai mclk's are not initialised during boot. Which is evident from the boot log

[    0.201181] i.MX clk 324: register failed with -2
[    0.201193] i.MX clk 325: register failed with -2
[    0.201198] i.MX clk 326: register failed with -2
[    0.201203] i.MX clk 328: register failed with -2
[    0.201207] i.MX clk 329: register failed with -2
[    0.201216] i.MX clk 330: register failed with -2

What is the possible reason this issue occurs, the dts was ported from lt-5.4-y which was working?
Also there are other error msgs that follow after the above log as below:

[    2.092442] imx-cdnhdmi sound-hdmi: snd_soc_register_card failed (-517)

I have attached the full boot log. Any inputs related to fixing the clock issues will be helpful.

sai3 dts node:

&sai3 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_sai3>;
clocks = <&audio_blk_ctrl IMX8MP_CLK_AUDIO_BLK_CTRL_SAI3_IPG>, <&clk IMX8MP_CLK_DUMMY>,
<&audio_blk_ctrl IMX8MP_CLK_AUDIO_BLK_CTRL_SAI3_MCLK1>, <&clk IMX8MP_CLK_DUMMY>,
<&clk IMX8MP_CLK_DUMMY>;
clock-names = "bus", "mclk0", "mclk1", "mclk2", "mclk3";
assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MP_CLK_SAI3>;
assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MP_AUDIO_PLL1_OUT>;
assigned-clock-rates = <12288000>;
fsl,sai-mclk-direction-output;
status = "okay";
};

clk node in dts:

&clk {
        init-on-array = <IMX8MP_CLK_HSIO_ROOT>;
}

Any help is kindly appreciated.

Hi,

I fixed the error by defining the corresponding clocks in my dts 'clk' node

eg: if sai1_mclk is missing then,

clk {
clocks = <&sai1_mclk>
clock-names = "sai1_mclk"
assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MP_CLK_SAI1>
}

After manually fixing them I later on stumbled upon an upstream patch
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx/commit/?h=lf-5.10.y&id=094e478c1e2d9c2939ccfbcd...

With this patch you don't need to define all the clocks in one go rather define it when its needed.

I have the same issue. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi,

I am also facing the same type of errors in dmesg, did you found anything related to it? if yes please share. Thanks.
