Hi Tero,

Have you seen Sylwester's approach[1]? I prefer it since it is more
device-oriented and less "centralized". The clock consumer enumerates
the default parent or rate of a consumed clock. This can be made to work
like your approach by having the clock driver consume these clocks and
set them up with default rates or parents. What do you think?

Regards,
Mike
