Huh ? Could you explain in detail what exactly in this patch is related
to the Common Clock Framework ? I guess you mean the new clocks driver ?

Yes, this appears a pretty mysterious change to me... I wonder, have
you altered anything at the clock tree definition to make it work ?
What platforms has this change been tested on ? For Exynos4, I've
changed the sclk_mfc clock definition, so it is possible to assign it
to the MFC IP by listing it in the codec DT node clocks property.
I suppose something similar is needed for Exynos5, if this is the
platform you needed that change for.

BTW, I think the mclk_name field should be removed from struct
s5p_mfc_variant, an the driver should use fixed name for the
second clock. Now there is "mfc", "sclk_mfc" used for Exynos4 and
"mfc", "aclk_133" for Exynos5. Drivers are not really supposed to
care about differences like this. Such differences could be easily
handled in the device tree. The DT binding documentation just
needs to specify the meaning of each clock name.
