[PATCH v3 0/4] clk: st: New always-on clock domain

[Lee Jones]

Mike,

Do you want me to resend this set with Robert's Reviewed-by applied,
or are you happy to apply it yourself?

> v2 => v3:
>   - Ensure DT actually reflects h/w
>     - i.e. Nodes should not contain a mishmash of different IP
>       blocks, but should identify related h/w.  In the current
>       example we use interconnects
>   - Change naming from clkdomain to clk-always-on
>   - Place "do not abuse" warning in documentation
> 
> v1 => v2:
>   - Turned the ST specific driver into a generic one
>   
> Hardware can have a bunch of clocks which must not be turned off.
> If drivers a) fail to obtain a reference to any of these or b) give
> up a previously obtained reference during suspend, the common clk
> framework will attempt to turn them off and the hardware will
> subsequently die.  The only way to recover from this failure is to
> restart.
>   
> To avoid either of these two scenarios from catastrophically
> disabling the running system we have implemented a clock domain
> where clocks are consumed and references are taken, thus preventing
> them from being shut down by the framework.
