i applied the series including the devicetree modification, but it 
doesn't work for me.

First of all i get an ugly division by zero warning from the pwm driver. 
The pwm driver still assume a fixed clock and doesn't handle the error 
cases of clk_get_rate(). I attached a patch at the end.

The reason in my case why clk_get_rate() returns zero is that the pwm 
clock is orphan ( pwm is listed under 
/sys/kernel/debug/clk_orphan_summary ).

My suspicion is it has something to do with the clock manager driver.
The bcm2835_clock_per_parents contains only 8 entries. But according to
BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf [1] CM_GP0CTL SRC page 107 has 16 entries. 
The upper 8 entries are all mapped to GND. It looks to me that the 
driver doesn't take care of this and so the pwm clock isn't able to 
determine it's parent.

Best regards
Stefan
