Heuh...

Ok so I've done a full bit for bit comparison of the 2 datasheets for
the clk gates, mostly they are mostly the same and the registers seem to
just be renamed.

The only differences are:

01c200060 (AHB1 MODULE CLOCK GATING REGISTER 0 / Bus Clock Gating Register 0):

Only A33 has bit 5 SS gating

01c200064 (AHB1 MODULE CLOCK GATING REGISTER 1 / Bus Clock Gating Register 1):

Only A33 has bit 26 SAT gating, note that if we add support for this we
must add it as a needed clock to the simplefb node

Only A33 has bit 21 MSGBOX_GATING

01c200068 (APB1 MODULE CLOCK GATING REGISTER / Bus Clock Gating Register 2):

No differences

01c20006c (APB2 MODULE CLOCK GATING REGISTER / Bus Clock Gating Register 3):

No differences


So you are right that in the near future we should add a separate compatible
+ clk driver or the ahb1_gates on the A33, but it does not seem that there is
the issue of one gate register having multiple parents like on the H3. Or maybe
the H3 does also not have that issue, and this is a misinterpretation of
the H3 datasheet ?

Note I do not know what the actual parent clock for the new gates is, but
it stands to reason that it is AHB1, I've been unable to find anything to
confirm or deny this.

Regards,

Hans
