Hi Bartlomiej,

Thanks for the comments.

Exynos7 has the same CPU clock registers layout as that present
Please precise for which Exynos7 SoC this change is needed
(all three of them?).
As mentioned in my recently posted PMU series, the exynos7 is a quad
core A57 based SoC and not meant to be a SoC family.
I have reviewed various exynos7xxx UMs in terms of the CPU CMU. Both
exynos7580 and exynos7420 have a similar CMU register layout along
with the same mux stat bits as exynos7. Exynos7870 on the other hand
is quite different.

Please let me know what naming convention you would prefer that I use
E7/E7420/E7580 ?

in Exynos5433 except for the bits in the MUX_STAT* registers.
Add a new CLK_CPU_HAS_MODIFIED_MUX_STAT flag to handle this change.

It's getting a bit messy, what if there comes another SoC version
which has some other modification of exynos5433 registers structure?
We would need another variant of HAS_MODIFIED_MUX_STAT flag and we
could easily get lost while trying to determine which modification
is which. How about indicating explicitly it's an exynos7 bits
layout and renaming the flag to something like

#define CLK_CPU_HAS_E7_MUX_STAT       (1 << 16) ?
ditto

Best regards,
