Tegra114 has a HW bug that the PLLD/PLLD2 lock bit cannot be asserted when
the DIS power domain is during up-powergating process but the clamp to this
domain is not removed yet. That causes a timeout and aborts the power
sequence, although the PLLD/PLLD2 has already locked. To remove the false
alarm, we don't use the lock for PLLD/PLLD2. Just wait 1ms and treat the
clocks as locked.

<title>clk: tegra: Initialize UTMI PLL when enabling PLLU</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the UTMI PLL initialization code form clk-tegra&lt;chip&gt;.c files into
clk-pll.c. UTMI PLL was being configured and set in HW control right
after registration. However, when the clock init_table is processed and
child clks of PLLU are enabled, it will call in and enable PLLU as
well, and initiate SW enabling sequence even though PLLU is already in
HW control. This leads to getting UTMIPLL stuck with a SEQ_BUSY status.

Doing the initialization once during pllu_enable means we configure it
properly into HW control.

A side effect of the commonization/localization of the UTMI PLL init
code, is that it corrects some errors that were present for earlier
generations. For instance, in clk-tegra124.c, it used to have:

    #define UTMIP_PLL_CFG1_ENABLE_DLY_COUNT(x) (((x) &amp; 0x1f) &lt;&lt; 6)

when the correct shift to use is present in the new version:

    #define UTMIP_PLL_CFG1_ENABLE_DLY_COUNT(x) (((x) &amp; 0x1f) &lt;&lt; 27)

which matches the Tegra124 TRM register definition.

sor_safe being the parent of the dpaux and dpaux1 clocks, it's not only
natural, but also slightly more efficient, to initialize it before its
children. This avoids orphaning the dpaux and dpaux1 clocks only to get
them reparented when the sor_safe clock is registered.

The timer clock feeds the timer block, which, among other things, is
used to drive the SOR lane sequencer. Since the Tegra timer driver is
not enabled on 64-bit ARM, nothing currently claims that clock and it
gets disabled by the common clock framework at late_init time.

Given the non-obvious dependencies, the timer clock can be considered
a critical part of the SoC infrastructure, requiring its clock source
to be always on.

<title>clk: tegra: Squash sor1 safe/brick/src into a single mux</title>

<content type='text'>
The sor1 clock on Tegra210 is structured in the following way:

    +-------+
    | pllp  |---+
    +-------+   |    +--------------+       +-----------+
                +----|              |       | sor_safe  |
    +-------+        |              |       +-----------+
    | plld  |--------|              |             |
    +-------+        |              |       +-----------+
                     |   sor1_src   |-------|           |
    +-------+        |              |       +-----------+
    | plld2 |--------|              |             |
    +-------+        |              |             |
                +----|              |             |
    +-------+   |    +--------------+             |
    | clkm  |---+                           +-----------+
    +-------+        +--------------+       |           |
                     |  sor1_brick  |-------|   sor1    |
                     +--------------+       |           |
                                            +-----------+

This is impractical to represent in a clock tree, though, because there
is no name for the mux that has sor_safe and sor1_src as parents. It is
also much more cumbersome to deal with the additional mux because users
of these clocks (the display driver) would have to juggle with an extra
mux for no real reason.

To simply things, the above is squashed into two muxes instead, so that
it looks like this:

    +-------+
    | pllp  |---+
    +-------+   |    +--------------+       +-----------+
                +----|              |       | sor_safe  |
    +-------+        |              |       +-----------+
    | plld  |--------|              |             |
    +-------+        |              |       +-----------+
                     |   sor1_src   |-------|   sor1    |
    +-------+        |              |       +-----------+
    | plld2 |--------|              |           |   |
    +-------+        |              |           |   |
                +----|              |           |   |
    +-------+   |    +--------------+           |   |

    +-------+        +--------------+           |   |
                     |  sor1_brick  |-----------+---+
                     +--------------+

This still very accurately represents the hardware. Note that sor1 has
sor1_brick as input twice, that's because bit 1 in the mux selects the
sor1_brick irrespective of bit 0.

Enabling spread spectrum on pll_d2 can lead to issues with display
modes. HDMI monitors, for example, would report "Signal Error" and
some modes driven over DisplayPort would generate fuzzy horizontal
bands.

Commit 86c679a52294 ("clk: tegra: pll: Fix _pll_ramp_calc_pll logic and
_calc_dynamic_ramp_rate") changed the PLL divider computation logic to
consistently use P-divider values from tables as real dividers rather
than the hardware values. Unfortunately for some reason many of the
Tegra210 clocks didn't have their tables updated (most likely an over-
sight by me when applying the patches). This commit fixes them all up.

<title>remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses</title>

Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err &lt; 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL &amp;&amp; \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) &gt;= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

[ Updated the 9p parts as per Al Viro  - Linus ]
