Hi, Ryan, Alexander,

Sorry for returning late, I took some time to think about it...

If I understand correctly, wouldn't this shift also the rest of the IDs
and break the DT ABI?

Looking at it now, I think it was a bad decision to do this branch.
Thinking at it maybe it would be better to have per SoC specific bindings
to avoid this kind of issue in future. The PMC IP b/w different SAM SoCs is
anyway different and, as it happens now, we may reach to a point where, due
to issues in datasheet, or whatever human errors, we may reach this problem
again.

So, what do you think about having separate binding files for each SoC?

Another option would be to xlate the clocks not by directly indexing in
struct pmc_data::chws but by matching the driver clock ID and DT provided
id. This will increase the lookup time, from O(1) to O(N), N being 13 for
SAMA7G5, 15 for SAM9X7 and SAMA7D55. And will need adjustment at least for
SAM9X{60, 7} and SAMA7{G5, D55}. With this the of_clk_hw_pmc_get() will be
something like:
