The following patch is a pre-requisite for this patch.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg351540.html

The rate can be obtained from div_core2 as well but with the cpu clock
now registered, the rate can be obtained from the cpu clock instance
instead of the div_core2 divider. And when Exynos4412 also add cpu
clock instance, the 'if' above will be removed.

Same here. Instead of getting the rate from div_core2 divider block,
the cpu clock instance is used to find the rate. I would prefer to use
cpu clock here. Is there any reason to prefer div_core2 over the cpu
clock instance?

Thanks,
