We choose to keep bootloader to the minimum and make kernel not depend upon any goodies provided. Second, which I don't think can be helped by a bootloader, the remote master has gate & rate control of clocks to peripheral IPs. The clk-api driver simply maps Linux requests onto mailbox commands. So the mailbox is needed as early as CLK_OF_DECLARE (when kernel reads the rate of every registered clock). Any suggestions?
