Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for submitting this.  I'd prefer for Rob or someone with a more vested
interest in DT to review your binding.  I have some comments on the code below.

The spinlocks for the basic clock types have always been optional.  This
code should reflect that and not assume the spinlock.

Also I wonder if the assumption is true that a single spinlock
corresponding to a device_node is always the right thing for every
platform.  What about a 32-bit register that contains some gating bits
and a 3-bit wide field for a mux which we perform read-modify-write
operations on?

You'll have to pardon my DT ignorance.  My concerns above may be totally
crazy with respect to DT.

There are some inconsistent prints here.  How about leading this trace
with a __func__ like you do below for the error messages?

!pclk_name would have caused an early return above, so this conditional
will never evaluate as true.  Even if it did, I'm not sure I follow the
logic.  Why set cg_pclk_name to NULL if pclk_name is NULL?

Extra whitespace typo?  Again, would be nice to lead this trace with a
__func__ string.

Need to check if clk_register_gate fails and do memory leak cleanup of
name and maybe lockp for the corner case where none of the clock
registration operations succeed.

Mike
