The scp_adsp clock controller is under the SCP_ADSP power domain. This
power domain is currently not supported nor defined.

Mark the clock controller as broken for now, to avoid the system from
trying to access it, and causing the CPU or bus to stall.

....or we can add the ADSP power domain to actually fix this properly, which looks
like being a generally good idea :-)

Sure, but that and any driver changes have to be backported, or anything
touching the clocks will still break the system.


I agree.

There's no reason we can't have both. I think having this one merged and
backported to stable first, then adding the SCP_ADSP power domain, and tying
it to the clock controller as a follow up addition works best.

What do you think?


I think that one reason to not have both is that we'd have to revert this commit
after the SCP_ADSP power domain is added (with the appropriate Fixes tags and/or
Cc stable)...

I'd expect that entire addition to be no more than 3 commits, including the dtsi
one... and if it comes out as I expect, we'd be solving that issue on all of the
affected older versions of the kernel - the right way.

Can we wait for... let's say, a day or two to check how that works, before taking
a final decision on this commit?


Do I understand correctly that the correct way for now is to merge this patch until we have a fixed the power domain controller?
