Hmm, that's strange. The former is a completely valid piece of code...

Hmm, I've been testing this on top of my common clock framework and device 
tree patches, but I don't think this had any effect. Did you add necessary 
clkdev lookups to the clock driver?

In Samsung CCF alias notation it looks like this:

+       ALIAS(HCLK_DMA1, "dma-pl080s.1", "apb_pclk"),
+       ALIAS(HCLK_DMA0, "dma-pl080s.0", "apb_pclk"),

Not sure how hard it will be to add such lookups to the old clock driver, 
though.

I will test this applied directly on top of current linux-next when I find 
some time, but for now you might check out my v3.11-devel branch on my 
github:
