Title:
  Zynq7000 UART clock reset initialization

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hello,

  we have come across a strange behavior in the Zynq7000 model of Qemu
  that seems to have been  introduced between 5.0.0 and 5.1.0.

  
  The reset values of the SLCR register, in particular those for UART_CLK_CTRL, 
are such that
  the UARTs should find functional clocks. Up to 5.0.0 this was also the 
behavior that was
  implemented in QEMU.

  Starting in 5.1.0, we found that - despite correct reset values [1] - the 
UARTs are non-functional
  upon reset. Some investigation revealed that the cause for that is that the 
corresponding
  clocks are not properly initialized.

  Between 5.0.0 and 5.1.0, there are three commits  that touch the Zynq
  UART clocks [2]. The last of them [3] triggers the faulty behavior.

  Attached is a patch that applies 5.2.0-rc2 and yields a functional UART. We 
surmise that the
  underlying device release issue runs much deeper, so it is only meant to 
identify the issue.
