I faced on unthinkable issue. I'm implementing missing PPMU clock of Exynos3250 (PPMUDMC0, PPMUDMC1, PPMUFSYS).
But, I can't find the parent clock of PPMUDMC0, PPMUDMC1 and the clock of PPMUFSYS on Exynos3250 datasheet.
Like this, some PPMU clocks is not specified on Exynos SoC datasheet because some clocks should be remained
with always-on state.

So, I want to show just warning message if exynos-ppmu driver fail to get ppmu clock.

Thanks,
