Those nodes are designated as clock providers. Clock consumer +nodes use a phandle and clock specifier pair to connect clock provider +outputs to clock inputs. Similar to the gpio specifiers, a clock +specifier is an array of one more more cells identifying the clock +output on a device. The length of a clock specifier is defined by the +value of a #clock-cells property in the clock provider node. + +[1] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/31551/ + +==Clock providers== + +Required properties: +#clock-cells: Number of cells in a clock specifier; Typically 0 for nodes + with a single clock output and 1 for nodes with multiple + clock outputs. + +Optional properties: +clock-output-names: Recommended to be a list of strings of clock output signal + names indexed by the first cell in the clock specifier. + However, the meaning of clock-output-names is domain + specific to the clock provider, and is only provided to + encourage using the same meaning for the majority of clock + providers. This format may not work for clock providers + using a complex clock specifier format. In those cases it + is recommended to omit this property and create a binding + specific names property. + + Clock consumer nodes must never directly reference + the provider's clock-output-names property. + +For example: + + oscillator { + #clock-cells = <1>; + clock-output-names = "ckil", "ckih"; + }; + +- this node defines a device with two clock outputs, the first named + "ckil" and the second named "ckih". Consumer nodes always reference + clocks by index. The names should reflect the clock output signal + names for the device. + +==Clock consumers== + +Required properties: +clocks: List of phandle and clock specifier pairs, one pair + for each clock input to the device. Note: if the + clock provider specifies '0' for #clock-cells, then + only the phandle portion of the pair will appear. + +Optional properties: +clock-names: List of clock input name strings sorted in the same + order as the clocks property. Consumers drivers + will use clock-names to match clock input names + with clocks specifiers. +clock-ranges: Empty property indicating that child nodes can inherit named + clocks from this node.
