RFC Basic divider clock

From: Markus Mayer <[email protected]>

This series contains a patch that was originally submitted by Mike Turquette in August 2013, but never merged.[1] Although I didn't see any comments rejecting it.

We have been using this code for our STB platform for quite some time and wouldn't mind seeing it upstream. What are the current thoughts on merging this code?

The patch is almost entirely how Mike submitted it originally. For the purposes of this RFC, I kept my modifications separate, to make it easier to see what is different from the original. I am expecting that my modifications would need to be squashed into the main patch with annotations in the commit message.

There were trivial conflicts applying the original patch to 4.11-rc1. Those were entirely due to the patch context changing (clk_hw_unregister_divider() didn't exist back then) and not due to any incompatibilities with the patch itself.

The other changes I made are listed and described in patch 2/2.
