This should be allOf: and placed after required: block, like in example
schema.

Nope. Properties must be defined in top-level.

These should be clocks.

This should fail. I don't think you tested this patch.

Sorry, but I can't understand what you're asking me.
Could you kindly explain it to me in more detail?

I executed the command

make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=fsl,imx8m-anatop.yaml

and it did not raise any errors.

Thanks and regards,

You added new property instead of using existing one for this purpose:
'clocks'.

I added this new property specifically for managing spread-spectrum.
Indeed, not all clocks/PLLs
managed by the node/peripheral support spread-spectrum, and the added
properties specify
parameters for enabling and tuning SSC for each individual PLL based
on the index of each list.
If I were to use the 'clocks' property and add a clock to this list
that does not support SSC, IMHO
the pairings would be less clear.

AFAIK the confusion arises from the fact that this node, which is a
clock controller, was used only
to export its base address, but perhaps it should have also exported
its clocks, which the other
clock controller does, as shown in:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/imx8m-clock.yaml.
If I consider its 'compatible' entries:
- 'fsl,imx8mm-ccm' -> drivers/clk/imx/clk-imx8mm.c
- 'fsl,imx8mn-ccm' -> drivers/clk/imx/clk-imx8mn.c
- 'fsl,imx8mp-ccm' -> drivers/clk/imx/clk-imx8mp.c
the probe function, triggered by fsl,imx8m{m,n,p}-ccm (and not
fsl,imx8m{m,n,p}-anatop),
retrieves the anatop node solely to get its base address, also
registering its clocks, which
I would have expected to be registered by another driver, specifically
the one for anatop:

static int imx8mn_clocks_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
struct device_node *np = dev->of_node;
void __iomem *base;
struct imx_pll14xx_ssc pll1443x_ssc;
int ret;

clk_hw_data = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(clk_hw_data, hws,
                           IMX8MN_CLK_END), GFP_KERNEL);
if (WARN_ON(!clk_hw_data))
    return -ENOMEM;

clk_hw_data->num = IMX8MN_CLK_END;
hws = clk_hw_data->hws;

hws[IMX8MN_CLK_DUMMY] = imx_clk_hw_fixed("dummy", 0);
hws[IMX8MN_CLK_24M] = imx_get_clk_hw_by_name(np, "osc_24m");
hws[IMX8MN_CLK_32K] = imx_get_clk_hw_by_name(np, "osc_32k");
hws[IMX8MN_CLK_EXT1] = imx_get_clk_hw_by_name(np, "clk_ext1");
hws[IMX8MN_CLK_EXT2] = imx_get_clk_hw_by_name(np, "clk_ext2");
hws[IMX8MN_CLK_EXT3] = imx_get_clk_hw_by_name(np, "clk_ext3");
hws[IMX8MN_CLK_EXT4] = imx_get_clk_hw_by_name(np, "clk_ext4");

np = of_find_compatible_node(NULL, NULL, "fsl,imx8mn-anatop");
base = devm_of_iomap(dev, np, 0, NULL);
of_node_put(np);
if (WARN_ON(IS_ERR(base))) {
    ret = PTR_ERR(base);
    goto unregister_hws;
}

hws[IMX8MN_AUDIO_PLL1_REF_SEL] = imx_clk_hw_mux("audio_pll1_ref_sel",
base + 0x0, 0, 2, pll_ref_sels, ARRAY_SIZE(pll_ref_sels));
hws[IMX8MN_AUDIO_PLL2_REF_SEL] = imx_clk_hw_mux("audio_pll2_ref_sel",
base + 0x14, 0, 2, pll_ref_sels, ARRAY_SIZE(pll_ref_sels));
hws[IMX8MN_VIDEO_PLL_REF_SEL] = imx_clk_hw_mux("video_pll_ref_sel",
base + 0x28, 0, 2, pll_ref_sels, ARRAY_SIZE(pll_ref_sels));

You duplicate property with argument "pairings shall match". Well, I am
not happy with the duplication. Clocks have specific order, thus it is
explicit which one needs tuning. Your other properties can match them as
well, just index from clocks is offset...

You use it as clocks, so I don't understand this comment.

Sorry, I am not going to dwell into drivers code. We talk here about
bindings and new properties.

Just to check if I understood correctly what you are suggesting before
submitting version 3 of the patch.
Something, for example, like:

clocks = <&clk, IMX8MP_AUDIO_PLL1>,  <&clk, IMX8MP_AUDIO_PLL2>, <&clk
IMX8MP_VIDEO_PLL1>;
fsl,ssc-modfreq-hz = <0, 3517>, <2, 6818>;

Where the spread spectrum is enabled only for AUDIO_PLL1 and VIDEO_PLL1 and
not for IMX8MP_AUDIO_PLL2.

Is this what you meant?

Thanks and regards,
Dario

Hm, what is 0? If clock index, then no, it's redundant. The first item
in cannot point to other clock.

Also, what exactly are you setting here and why assigned-clock-rates are
not working?

I am enabling and configuring the spread spectrum.

Normal clock: Without spread spectrum, the clock signal has a fixed and
repetitive frequency (e.g., 100 MHz). This frequency generates an
electromagnetic
signal concentrated on a single frequency, and if strong enough, it can disturb
other devices.

Spread spectrum:  With spread spectrum, the clock frequency is
slightly "modulated,"
meaning it oscillates around a central value. For example, if the base
frequency is 100 MHz,
the clock might vary between 99.5 MHz and 100.5 MHz in a cyclic manner. This
small variation spreads the energy over a wider range of frequencies
(from 99.5 to 100.5 MHz),
reducing the intensity of the signal at any one frequency.

> and why assigned-clock-rates are
> not working?

The traditional clock properties, such as clocks,
assigned-clocks-rates, etc retain their usual
meaning even when spread spectrum is applied. However, to implement
the spread spectrum
mechanism in a circuit with a PLL (Phase-Locked Loop), additional
specific parameters are
introduced to properly configure the frequency modulation:

 - Modulation frequency: i. e. fsl,ssc-modfreq-hz
 - Modulation rate: i.e.  fsl,ssc-modrate-percent
 - Modulation type:  i. e. fsl,ssc-modmethod (center-spread, down-spread)

Additionally, it should be noted that not all anatop PLLs are equipped
with circuitry for spread
spectrum, but only a small subset of them. This is the reason why I
introduced the property
"fsl, ssc-clocks".

This is another commit [1] on enabling spread spectrum that I
implemented some time ago for
the am335x. The most evident difference is that in that case the node
was a clock node and not
a clock controller, as in the case of anatop. The parameters are also
not exactly the same, but
that depends on the platform.

[1] 4a8bc2644ef0cbf8e ("dt-bindings: ti: dpll: add spread spectrum support")

Sure, so each board will come with its own, different values and you
will not put into the SoC DTSI?

Where is the DTS? I received only this patch.

OK, I still do not know what "0" was, but the items are fixed, so you
know exactly which clock you are configuring here.

I haven't had time to push the board I'm working on upstream yet.

So, after delving deeper into the topic, is it now acceptable to use
the property
"fsl,ssc-clocks" instead of "clocks"?  As in the patch I applied locally?
