This can be replaced with just clk_set_rate, or clk_set_parent if needed.
Or by having a clocks = <&32k_clk> property in the dmtimer node in the
.dts file.

Hmm this we may not need, this can probably be deciphered from the compatible
flag already?
Then for the users of a specific dmtimer, they can select the right one using
the interrupt-parent property:
timer1: timer at 0x4800abcd {
compatible = "ti,omap5430-timer";
#interrupt-cells = <1>; /* needs irqchip implemented for dmtimer */
interrupt-controller;
#clock-cells = <1>; /* needs clocksource implemented for dmtimer */
clock-output-names = "32k", "sys_ck";
...
};
counter32k: counter at 4ae04000 {
compatible = "ti,omap-counter32k";
#clock-cells = <1>; /* needs clocksource implemented for 32k counter */
clock-output-names = "32k";
...
};
timer {
compatible = "ti,omap5-timer";
interrupt-parent = <&timer1>;
interrupts = <1>;
clocks = <&timer1 0>, /* use timer1 as clockevent, clock index 0 = 32k, 1 = sys_ck ... */
<&counter32k 0>; /* use 32k counter as clocksource */
};
> - ti,timer-dsp: Indicates the timer can interrupt the on-chip DSP in
This can be probably also be mapped based on the compatible property?
