Cover letter [RFC PATCH 0/8] clk: qoriq: Move chip-specific knowledge into driver
Quoted 9 lines · Michael Turquette

Hi Scott,

Quoted 5 lines

The existing device tree bindings are error-prone and inflexible. Correct the mistake by moving the knowledge into the driver, which has more flexibility in describing the quirks of each chip. This leaves the device tree to its proper role of identifying a programming interface rather than describing its individual registers.

Sorry for not responding to this one sooner. Fell through the cracks.

All of the changes to drives/clk/clk-qoriq.c look great to me. I assume you need to keep all of these patches together and want to the take through the freescale tree? If so feel free to add,

I just sent a non-RFC v2, with improved compatibility with old device trees (especially ls1021a). It depends on the cpufreq patch though (at least, to avoid breaking qoriq-cpufreq until that patch is merged), so I'll also need an ack from Rafael for that if I'm taking it through my tree.
