You can do something else too:
int clk_register_clkdev(struct clk *clk, struct clk_lookup *cl, size_t num)
{
unsigned i;
if (!clk)
return -ENOMEM;
for (i = 0; i < num; i++, cl++) {
cl->clk = clk;
clkdev_add(cl);
}
return 0;
}
and:
int clk_register_single_clkdev(struct clk *clk, const char *devname, const char *conname)
{
struct clk_lookup *cl;
if (!clk)
return -ENOMEM;
cl = clkdev_alloc(clk, conname, "%s", devname);
if (!cl)
return -ENOMEM;
clkdev_add(cl);
return 0;
}
and do:
static struct clk_lookup clk_foo_lookups[] = {
{
.dev_name = foo,
.con_name = bar,
}, {
...
},
};
clk = clk_register(dev, NULL, &ops, &hw, NULL, 0, 0);
ret = clk_register_clkdev(clk, clk_foo_lookups, ARRAY_SIZE(clk_foo_lookups));
if (ret)
...
and:
clk = clk_register(dev, NULL, &ops, &hw, NULL, 0, 0);
ret = clk_register_simple_clkdev(clk, "devname", "conname");
if (ret)
...
which are both much easier to use than a function taking some 11
arguments, and doesn't require each and every clk_register*() function
to be modified to take the clkdev stuff.
