Any idea on how can we get some temporary solution for 3.17 as we didn't
conclude anything yet on bindings ?
A temporary solution would have to be NOT in DT because once you add
something into DT you are stuck with it for some time. You could
simply support independent clocks by looking at the platform type, but
that is still risky since you may want to define the OPP in DT
differently for the 2 cases.

The other problem with temporary solutions is once they are accepted,
people loose motivation to create the permanent solution. "Can you
take this now and I'll fix the issues later" is a red flag to
maintainers.
On the Marvell Armada XP side of things, the OPPs are registered
dynamically because they change from one board to the other. The only
thing that is in the DT for cpufreq-generic is the clock-latency
parameter.

Thanks,

Thomas
