This patch adds a minimal driver for the Freescale i.MX23, i.MX28
power subsystem. It's required to trigger the probing of the underlying
drivers like on-chip regulators. Additionally the drivers supports
the configuration of the DC-DC clock frequency to avoid possible
interferences.

I would expect PLL to be board specific and part of DT. Why is it
specified as parameter?

I think the switching frequency of the DC-DC belongs to the
configuration and don't describe how the hardware is connected. But i
don't have a problem to change it into a DT property.

Does a common property name exists for the switching frequency or would
it be vendor specific?

As far as I know most regulators have fixed switching frequencies,
so there is no common property name so far. I added regulator
framework people, since this property should be regulator specific.

Apart from introducing a custom/common switching-frequency property
the dts could also expose the PLL like this and use the common
clock-frequency property:

power: power at 80044000 {
compatible = "fsl,imx28-power";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
reg = <0x80044000 0x2000>;
interrupts = <6>;
ranges;

powerpll {
compatible = "fsl,imx28-power-pll"
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-frequency = <12345>;
}
}

okay i understand. But doesn't it need a extra driver to set the switching
frequency because of the new compatible string?

At this point i think about moving this feature into the bootloader.

@Fabio, @Marek:

What's your opinion about that?
