2012-07-11clk: add DT clock binding supportGrant Likely
Based on work 1st by Ben Herrenschmidt and Jeremy Kerr, then by Grant Likely, this patch adds support to clk_get to allow drivers to retrieve clock data from the device tree. Platforms scan for clocks in DT with of_clk_init and a match table, and the register a provider through of_clk_add_provider. The provider's clk_src_get function will be called when a device references the provider's OF node for a clock reference. v6 (Rob Herring): - Return error values instead of NULL to match clock framework expectations v5 (Rob Herring): - Move from drivers/of into common clock subsystem - Squashed "dt/clock: add a simple provider get function" and "dt/clock: add function to get parent clock name" - Rebase to 3.4-rc1 - Drop CONFIG_OF_CLOCK and just use CONFIG_OF - Add missing EXPORT_SYMBOL to various functions - s/clock-output-name/clock-output-names/ - Define that fixed-clock binding is a single output v4 (Rob Herring): - Rework for common clk subsystem - Add of_clk_get_parent_name function v3: - Clarified documentation v2: - fixed errant ';' causing compile error - Editorial fixes from Shawn Guo - merged in adding lookup to clkdev - changed property names to match established convention. After working with the binding a bit it really made more sense to follow the lead of 'reg', 'gpios' and 'interrupts' by making the input simply 'clocks' & 'clock-names' instead of 'clock-input-*', and to only use clock-output* for the producer nodes. (Sorry Shawn, this will mean you need to change some code, but it should be trivial) - Add ability to inherit clocks from parent nodes by using an empty 'clock-ranges' property. Useful for busses. I could use some feedback on the new property name, 'clock-ranges' doesn't feel right to me.
