This adds userspace consumer for common clock. This driver is inspired from Userspace regulator consumer (REGULATOR_USERSPACE_CONSUMER) and it is useful for test purposes and some classes of devices that are controlled entirely from user space.Whether the kernel handles a clock or userspace does should have nothing to do with DT. Plus DT does not expose many of the clocks, so any debug feature needs to expose all clocks and be independent of DT. Beyond debug, I don't think we should be exposing clock control to userspace.
Agreed. Plus, the userspace regulator consumer doesn't have any DT binding for it, so I don't see why we would have a DT binding for the clk one. -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project
