Re: [PATCH v4 2/8] clk: qcom: ipq5332: enable few nssnoc clocks in driver probe

Reason being, to access the NSSCC clocks, these GCC clocks
(gcc_snoc_nssnoc_clk, gcc_snoc_nssnoc_1_clk, gcc_nssnoc_nsscc_clk)
should be turned ON. But CCF disables these clocks as well due to the
lack of consumer.

This means that NSSCC is also a consumer of those clocks. Please fix
both DT and nsscc driver to handle NSSNOC clocks.


Thanks Dmitry. I shall include these clocks in the NSSCC DT node and enable the same in the NSSCC driver probe.


Once you have actual drivers, this should solve itself, the drivers
will consume the clocks.


Given that, NSSCC is being built as module, there is no issue in booting
the kernel. But if you do insmod of the nsscc-ipq5332.ko, system will
reset.

Without the networking drivers, there is no need to install this module.
And as you stated, once the drivers are available, there will be no issues.

So can I explain the shortcomings of installing this module without the
networking drivers in cover letter and drop this patch all together?

No. Using allyesconfig or allmodconfig and installing the full modules
set should work.



Okay, Got it. Thanks for the information.
