moving Tegra30 to the common clock framework

Hi,
I started looking into what would be needed to move our tegra30 clock code
to the common clock framework. The tegra30 clocktree is rather flat. Basically
there are a bunch of sources (13 PLLs, external audio clocks, osc and 32Khz)
and peripheral clocks which have a mux (with 4 or more inputs), a divider and
a gate. So almost every peripheral clock can have multiple parents.
Some questions:
1) should these peripheral clocks be modelled as 3 different clocks
(mux -> divider -> gate) or would it be better to make a new clock type for
this?
2) how to define the default parent? in many cases the hw reset value isn't
a very sensible choice, so the kernel probably needs to set a parent of
many of them if we don't want to rely on bootloader configuration.
Cheers,
Peter.
