Hi Jeremy,

Quick review below.

If there is no ops->prepare function then we never increment
prepare_count, which means that driver writers can get sloppy if they
know that ops->prepare is no-op on their platform since they will not
get warned for omitting clk_prepare.

Also, why are the warnings added in a separate patch rather than being
rolled into this patch?

Again, you should still increment enable_count even if ops->enabled is a
no-op since it provides valuable warnings when clk_enable/disable calls
are not matched correctly.

Possibly we should shadow the clock rate if ops->get_rate is no-op? So
clock initialisation and clk_set_rate store the rate in the shadow
field, and then do:

	if (clk->ops->get_rate)
		return clk->ops->get_rate(clk);
	return clk->shadow_rate;

Because the API is generic, driver writers should reasonably expect that
clk_get_rate will return something valid without having to know the
platform implementation details. It may also be worth having a warning
to let the user know that the returned rate may be approximate.

This has probably been covered, and I have probably missed it, but why
don't the generic clk_get/put functions do ref-counting? Drivers must
have matched clk_get/put calls so it should work like enable/prepare
counting right?

This comment seems out of date now that we have the prepare/enable
semantics?

I think you need to make it more clear the prepare/unprepare must be

Drivers _must_ call clk_prepare before clk_enable (not typically)?

I don't understand this. Are architectures supposed to provide a
function called clk_get? Doesn't this break the whole idea of having a
common struct clk?
