Let me know what you think,I don't see the interest to have common code for 32bits and 64bits. The clock driver of a SoC will never evolve, so, it is simpler to copy the source common with the H3 into a clean A64 clock driver.I'm not sure why 32 bits vs 64 bits matters here. We're going to share a significant number of drivers already between armv7 and armv8, like MMC, EMAC, I2C, and so on. And I expect to share the data in other SoCs for the A10, A13 and A20 for example, or A23/A33, which have a lot of clocks in common too.
The interest of your sunxi-ng approach is that the clocks of each SoC is described in one file. Here you are mixing 2 SoCs in the same source file. The advantage is lost. -- Ken ar c'henta? | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/
