The clk-twl6040 is not really a good example for you start with. We only need
it to turn on in order to get the clock on the output. But the principle is
the same at the end. you need to enable/disable the clock from twl6030...

Yes, this is what I thought for the twl6040 clock integration with McPDM. It
turned out a bit more complicated.
At boot time you do not have the twl clock driver loaded.
You have the clock tree already defined.
When you boot further you add the clock for twl6040.
You want to hook it up with the existing clock tree - to set it as parent of
one of the clock root (which you already modified to not to be the root clock).
I shall work, but it does not:
for external chips we need to do the configuration/enable in clk_prepare time
(because they are over i2c).
So the driver goes and asks for a clock (which supposed to be at the end
rooted to this new external clock).
Nothing happens.
The relevant clock tree has been already got prepared earlier so new prepare
will not going to go down to the root, leaving the root clock disabled.

I'm still looking a way to somehow fix this, but my time is limited right now.

I have not checked the schematics, but it could be that we have crystal 32K on
board as well. TWL6030 can gate some of it's 32K outputs and this is the case
with WiLink on PandaBoard.

I'm not sure if I have twl6030 TRM either, but I can try to come up with a
basic driver for the twl6030 clocks.
