[meta-freescale] Kernel 3.10.53 can't set ENET_REF_CLK to 50 MHz

[Nikolay Dimitrov]

Hi gang,

While porting kernel 3.10.53 to an imx6d-based board, I stumbled upon
the following issue - my board has a 100 MBit/s RMII PHY which needs 50
MHz reference clock from the SOC, but during the kernel initialization
the clock is configured as 125 MHz (observed with a oscilloscope on a
test pad). The reference clock is sent from pin GPIO_16 to the PHY.

I assume there's no hardware issue with the board, as the old kernel
3.10.17 works fine on the same board. Also U-Boot successfully
downloads the 3.10.53 kernel via network, just before observing the
fore-mentioned issue.

Here are the relevant parts of my DT:


&fec {
	pinctrl-names = "default";
	pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_enet_4>;
	phy-mode = "rmii";
	phy-reset-gpios = <&gpio4 5 0>;
	phy-reset-duration = <1>;
	status = "okay";
};

&iomuxc {
	pinctrl-names = "default";
	pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog_1>;

	enet {
		pinctrl_enet_4: enetgrp-4 {
			fsl,pins = <
				MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_16__ENET_REF_CLK	0x4001b0a8
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_MDIO__ENET_MDIO		0x1b0b0
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_MDC__ENET_MDC		0x1b0b0
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_TXD0__ENET_TX_DATA0	0x1b0b0
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_TXD1__ENET_TX_DATA1	0x1b0b0
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_TX_EN__ENET_TX_EN	0x1b0b0
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_RXD0__ENET_RX_DATA0	0x1b0b0
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_RXD1__ENET_RX_DATA1	0x1b0b0
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_RX_ER__ENET_RX_ER	0x1b0b0
				MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_CRS_DV__ENET_RX_EN	0x1b0b0
			>;
		};
	};
};


Here's a bootlog extract that shows the FEC-related messages:


...
libphy: fec_enet_mii_bus: probed
fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: registered PHC device 0
...
fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: Freescale FEC PHY driver [SMSC 
LAN8710/LAN8720] (mii_bus:phy_addr=2188000.ethernet:01, irq
=-1)
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
Waiting up to 110 more seconds for network.
...


In general, I'm looking at the appropriate way to set the
CCM_ANALOG_PLL_ENET.DIV_SELECT to 50 MHz.

Thanks in advance for your comments. Regards,
