Hi Peppe,
I understand your point from the code below (at file stmmac_main.c line 2784):
/* If a specific clk_csr value is passed from the platform
* this means that the CSR Clock Range selection cannot be
* changed at run-time and it is fixed. Viceversa the driver'll try to
* set the MDC clock dynamically according to the csr actual
* clock input.
*/
if (!priv->plat->clk_csr)
stmmac_clk_csr_set(priv);
else
priv->clk_csr = priv->plat->clk_csr;
I did search through the whole stmmac_main.c file and found that only
stmmac_clk_csr_set()
function is leveraging the priv->stmmac_clk params for it calculation. By the
logic point of
view, I do not need priv->stmmac_clk when I got priv->plat->clk_csr. With this
thinking,
I propose this fix as when the probe get priv->plat->clk_csr, it shouldn't fail
if priv->stmmac_clk
has the error value.
Regards,
Wilson
