Hi all,

The goal of this series is to provide a cross-platform clock framework
that platforms can use to model their clock trees and perform common
operations on them.  Currently everyone re-invents their own clock tree
inside platform code which makes it impossible for drivers to use the
clock APIs safely across many platforms and for distro's to compile
multi-platform kernels which all redefine struct clk and its operations.

This is the second version of the common clock patches which were
originally posted by Jeremy Kerr and then re-posted with some additional
patches by Mark Brown.  Mark's re-post didn't have any changes done to
the original four patches from Jeremy which is why this series is "v2".

The changes in this series are minimal: I've folded in some of Mark's
fixes and most of the comments posted to his series as well as rebasing
on top of v3.1-rc7.  The design and functionality hasn't changed much
since Jeremy posted v1 of this series.  Propagating the rate change up
to the parent has been removed from clk_set_rate since that needs some
more thought.  I also dropped Mark's change to append a device's name to
a clk name since device tree might solve this neatly.  Again more
discussion around that would be good.

v1 of the series can be found at,

Mark's re-post (v1+) can be found at,

Looks good at first review to me.  I had a few comments, but nothing
major.  It really needs some documentation though.
