Yes, also don't want to add these pre-declarations, but needed by the following
changes...

Well, this is caused by a state mis-align between HW and SW in clock tree
during booting.
Usually in uboot, we may enable all clocks in HW by default.
And during kernel booting time, the parent clock could be disabled in its driver
probe due to calling clk_prepare_enable and clk_disable_unprepare.
Because it's child clock is only enabled in HW while its SW usecount in
clock tree is still 0, so clk_disable of parent clock will gate the parent clock
in both HW and SW usecount ultimately.
Then there will be a clock is on in HW while its parent is disabled.

Later when clock core does clk_disable_unused, this clock disable
will cause system hang due to the limitation of operation requiring its parent
clock on.

Got it as you told we will change all clk name to core for clk_core.

The CLK_SET_PARENT_ON only indicates that it's parent clocks should
be on, not itself clock.
And we don't want to break CLK_SET_PARENT_GATE clocks.
So if the clk is not prepared before, we only enable its old parent,
not including itself.

Seems it's needed by this fix:

Good suggestion, will try in next version.

What i know is that it's designed for eliminate glitch internally.
Will find more information for you.

Actually it's meaning is the clock set(e.g. rate, gate/ungate)
needs its parent clocks on, not set parent...
But Yes, i fully agree the naming is a bit misleading.

It just follows the exist CLK_SET_X convention..
Seems not easy find a better name.
What's your suggestion?

How about CLK_OPS_PARENT_ON?

Caused by two reasons initially:
1) no one uses clk_prepare_enable in clk core, so i guess it may be better
not use it :-)
2) clk_prepare_enable includes one more unneeded prepare lock acquire,
lines exchange efficiency.

I'm ok if you like this. :)
