I am not sure how big of a problem the backwards compatible thingy with DT is, in general we must not break it. What do you say Manish? As a workaround, would it be possible to use of_clk_get_from_provider() somehow to address the compatibility issue? Or maybe there is another clock API that can help. Kind regards Uffe
