AFAIK with the TCONs, even when the TCON channel clock (not the bus clock) is disabled, register accesses still work.
You're right, I just tested that.
I'm saying that the TCON TOP gate is downstream from the TCON channel clock in the CCU. These are not related to the TCON bus clock in the CCU, which affects register access.
Did Allwinner provide any information regarding the hierarchy of the clocks?
No reponse for now.

I would like to get it right and match actual hardware. My proposal is based on my understanding from the diagrams in the user manual.
So for now, your explanation is the most reasonable. Should we go ahead and implement your idea?
Please note that H6 has TCON-TOP too, but it has only one LCD TCON and one TV TCON instead of two of each kind. That means we will have hole in indices (tcon_lcd0 is 1, tcon_tv0 is 3, which is aligned with R40) and different TCON- TOP binding (no tcon_tv1 channel clock), but setup is exactly the same.
I just noticed issue with this proposal. If we have following clock chain for HDMI, everythings is ok:
TCON-TV0 -> TCON-TOP-TV0
TCON TV sets TCON-TOP-TV0 clock rate, which in turn sets TCON-TV0 clock and everything works.
However, when TVE will be configured, it would look like this:
TVE0 -> TCON-TOP-TV0
TVE driver will set TVE0 clock to 216 MHz and TCON TV would set TCON-TOP-TV0 rate which in turn sets TVE0 clock to something like 13.5 MHz (or whatever is the right clock rate for PAL and NTSC). As you can see, same clock is set to two different rates by two different drivers.
It *might* still work, since encoders set clock rate after TCON (at least that is my experience for HDMI pipeline), but that is still wrong.
To overcome above issue, I would stick to original proposal with additional clock specified in TCON TV DT node. That way TCON driver would always set clock rate to TCON-TV0 clock. If TVE0 is enabled, TCON wouldn't interfere with setting clock rate, because TCON-TV0 clock would be decoupled in TCON-TOP mux.
What do you think?
I think this is the wrong representation, and worse, you are trying to work around software issues with it.
So to confirm some details, the TVE expects 216 MHz clock, and it expects the TCON to run and output data at 216 MHz as well. Is that correct?
Yes, from my understanding. 216 MHz is correct at least for PAL and NTSC, e.g. TV mode. TVE on R40 is also capable of RGB mode (VGA connector).
Would any settings for the TCON differ between when HDMI or TVE is used?
Apart of clock, no, other settings would be the same.
Does TVE and TCON run at 216 MHz regardless of resolution? I kind of doubt it. It might be expecting 297 MHz for PC resolutions.
Please check this table in BSP: https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M2U-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/driver s/ video/sunxi/disp2/tv/drv_tv.c#L24
216 MHz is applicable for low resolution, interlaced modes. Modes like 1080P, 1080I have expected standard timing.
That's weird. So it only applies to SDTV video resolutions. I remember seeing an "up sampling" setting for composite in the TVE, which goes all the way up to 216 MHz. Maybe that's the reason?
Probably. If upsampling is set to 0, it still needs 27 MHz, which is 2x more than standard PAL/NTSC clock. After studying AC200 manual (which is similar TV encoder) and its driver, it seems the reason for that is 8 bit parallel interface between TCON and TVE and 16 bit data (CCIR656).
However, actual tests would be needed to confirm all that.
I wonder how the TCON manages this though. I mean with the dot clock this high, doesn't that mean the frame rate is much higher?
Not sure, but IMO it is downscaled somehow in TVE HW to get proper rates at the end.
I think these kinds of quirks should be handled in the software, instead of being papered over.
Ok, that works for me too. I would just like to have such design that would later allow implementing TVE driver without much issues.
BTW, H3 TV TCON which is connected to TVE doesn't have TCON-TV channel clock at all, since it is controlled with TVE clock (same case as it would be here, if TCON TOP mux is switched to TVE clock source).
Does it require 216 MHz as well?
Yes. It supports only PAL and NTSC (only one DAC), so BSP driver sets TVE clock to 216 MHz.
Maybe quirk can be added that it doesn't set clock rate at all if it is connected to TVE?
A quirk yes. But the dot clock would be 216 MHz instead of not setting it, and only for certain display modes. To be honest I think we can get by with just a TODO note for now.
Why not leave control of channel rate to TVE, since it knows if oversampling is enabled or not? But that's debate for another time.
I will send new R40 HDMI patches according your original proposal.
