This is a very useful patchset, thanks! Mitch Bradley and I have been
hooking up the mach-mmp ARM subarchitecture to it and we needed to
make a few changes, mainly because mach-mmp doesn't use COMMON_CLK.
The changes are:
1) Remove the COMMON_CLK dependency that the of_clk_* functions have by
moving them into a new file, drivers/clk/clk-of.c. The OF functions
in drivers/clk/clk.c aren't dependent on anything else in clk.c
(since you pass them a struct clk) so they can be moved out easily.
The of_clk_* entries in clk-provider.h move to clk.h.
2) Use alloc_bootmem() instead of kzalloc() in of_clk_add_provider(),
because we need to set up clocks during .init_early on ARM (which
happens pre-slab) so that they are available for platform init.
I'll send our patches in a reply to this mail. Are you okay with these
changes, and would you like to include them in your patchset?
Thanks very much,
- Chris.
