[PATCH v2 03/10] Documentation: dt: improve Maxim 77686 PMIC clocks binding

From: Javier Martinez Canillas <hidden>
Date: 2014-06-16 18:03:17
Also in: linux-devicetree, linux-samsung-soc, lkml
Subsystem: common clk framework, open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Michael Turquette, Stephen Boyd, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

Like most clock drivers, the Maxim 77686 PMIC clock binding
follows the convention that the "#clock-cells" property is
used to specify the number of cells in a clock provider.

But the binding document is not clear enough that it shall
be set to 1 since the PMIC support multiple clocks outputs.

Also, explain that the clocks identifiers are defined in a
header file that can be included by Device Tree source with
client nodes to avoid using magic numbers.
