We have discovered random glitches during the system boot up procedure. The problem investigation led us to the weird outcomes: when none of the Renesas 5P49V6901 ports are explicitly enabled by the kernel driver, the glitches disappeared. It was a mystery since the SoC external clock domains were fed with different 5P49V6901 outputs. The driver code didn't seem like bogus either. We almost despaired to find out a root cause when the solution has been found for a more modern revision of the chip. It turned out the 5P49V6901 clock generator stopped its output for a short period of time during the VC5_OUT_DIV_CONTROL register writing. The same problem was found for the 5P49V6965 revision of the chip and was successfully fixed in commit fc336ae622df ("clk: vc5: fix output disabling when enabling a FOD") by enabling the "bypass_sync" flag hidden inside "Unused Factory Reserved Register". Even though the 5P49V6901 registers description and programming guide doesn't provide any intel regarding that flag, setting it up anyway in the officially unused register completely eliminated the denoted glitches. Thus let's activate the functionality submitted in commit fc336ae622df ("clk: vc5: fix output disabling when enabling a FOD") for the Renesas 5P49V6901 chip too in order to remove the ports implicit inter-dependency.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
