Good point, I'll do that in v2. Not sure how I missed that dependency
point, but thank you for noticing that. Guess it only works for me
because clocks are already enabled in bootloader, and I'm using
"clk_ignore_unused" param for now.

If you mean doing clk_prepare_enable() for "dout_peri_bus" clock in
exynos850_cmu_peri_init(), I don't think it's possible. clk_get()
needs "struct device *dev", and we only have that in platform driver
probe. Trying to pass dev=NULL won't work, so that's why I'm enabling
parent clocks in platform driver probe.

I'm going to submit new patch series soon. It'll include all my recent
patches, addressing all your comments. We can continue discussion
there, in case I misunderstood you and those patches are still not
correct.

Thanks!
