Sören,
thanks for looking into this. I also had a look at the files in
question. Based on Steffen's proposal, I prepared a diff that should do
the trick. It moves zynq_slcr_init() to early_init, instead of reusing
another hook that has magic cow powers (it calls irqchip_init that zynq
also wants sooner or later).
Also, it removes zynq_clock_init() and let zynq_clk_setup() map the
register itself by finding the node and use of_iomap(). I realized that
clock registers are quite separated within slcr, so you can consider
to have your own node for the clk-provider. As Steffen is proposing
this but mentioned incompatible DT changes, I chose that intermediate
step above.
It would be great, if you test the diff and prepare a patch out of
it, that I pick-up in the patch set. That way, we also have your
Signed-off on it.
Sebastian
