Surely this is exactly the sort of use case that clkdev is designed to handle? Essentially all it does is provide a remapping layer so that the data associated with the struct clk doesn't have to bear any direct relationship to the device and name used to look it up. This means that the SoC specific code can just define its clock tree in some way that looks good for the hardware and then easily layer a mapping to what the drivers expect without the two jobs having to interfere with each other. > I will certainly eliminate the driver's use of clk_get(dev, "name") to get > their default bus clock. I don't understand what the problem is with that? That's exactly what I'd expect to see a driver doing (possibly with NULL instead of a specific name). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
