The series addresses a long standing issue with McBSP2/3 regarding to hwmod setup. When booting with DT a warning is printed that mcbsp2/3 is using two hwmod. The root of the issue is the way how the hwmod data was constructed in the first place for OMAP3 McBSP2/3. After re-reading the TRM it is clear that the sidetone should not have it's own hwmod data as it is not a separate IP, it is part of the McBSP module.
Odd. I come to exactly the opposite conclusion from reading the TRM. In fact the SIDETONE blocks clearly should be hwmods, according to the documentation.
Consider:
1. The SIDETONE blocks have their own L4 ports - as documented in the OMAP36xx public TRM rev Z, Table 2-5 "L4-Peripheral Memory Space".
2. The SIDETONE blocks have different register access width restrictions from the McBSP. Ibid., Table 2-7 "Register Access Restrictions".
3. The SIDETONE blocks have distinct L4-Per firewall region IDs from their corresponding McBSP IP blocks. Ibid., Table 9-114 "Region Allocation for L4-Per Interconnect".
4. The SIDETONE blocks have their own L4 target interconnect agents. Table 9-128 "L4-Per Instance Summary"
5. The SIDETONE blocks have their own MPU IRQ lines, distinct from the McBSP block IRQ lines. Table 12-4 "Interrupt Mapping to the MPU Subsystem"
6. The SIDETONE IP block register target space is distinct from the corresponding McBSP address ranges. Table 21-36 "McBSP Instance Summary"
7. The SIDETONE IP blocks have their own "TI OCP" integration registers. Table 21-134 "ST_REV_REG", Table 21-136 "ST_SYSCONFIG_REG".
A better solution to the warnings you mention at the top of the message is to provide a separate low-level McBSP SIDETONE IP block device driver, distinct from the existing McBSP low-level IP block driver.
It can not affect PRCM either since it's SYSCONFIG register's AUTOIDLE bit is only sets the autoidle from the internal McBSP_iclk clock to the sidetone block of the same McBSP.
Can't parse this - could you try again? Are you referring to the erratum where someone forgot to hook up the SIDETONE idle signals to the PRCM, and the MCBSP_ICLK has to be manually kept active when the SIDETONE block is active?
