Hi Humberto,

Sorry for long delay, I've been quite busy with certain things and I
couldn't reply earlier.

Thanks a lot for the patch. In general it looks very nice and finally
makes the semantics of this code sane, but please see few minor comments
inline.

This patch could be split into two or more smaller patches, because it's
so big that it's quite hard to review.

For example, the extension of struct samsung_pll_rate_table and related
macros along with related rate tables in SoC drivers could be patch 1
(even though nothing would use the new data yet, nothing would break),
then patch 2 could contain changes to the PLL framework and finally
patch 3 could remove the conditional assignments of rate tables in SoC
drivers.

I think it might be a bit cleaner to just save respective function in a
new field of samsung_clk_pll struct. This would be facilitated by
_samsung_clk_register_pll() function which already has a big switch over
pll_clk->type, so you could just stuff there proper assignments. Then
_samsung_clk_rate_from_table() would take struct samsung_clk_pll *
instead of pll type and call the function from the stored pointer.

I wonder if we shouldn't rather disable such entry completely, e.g. by
assigning 0 to orate (your code below already accounts for such
entries). The rationale behind this idea is that if an entry has
incorrect orate, then it's quite likely that prate or coefficients are
wrong too.

No need for & in case of function pointers.

What is the reason to make rate_count optional? IMHO the function could
be specified to require a valid pointer. Or maybe even better: What
about changing it to return an integer error and make it take a pointer
to struct samsung_clk_pll as its argument instead and change its fields
directly?

nit: prate (as for parent rate) would be more consistent with what is
already used in clock code.
