This is not sufficient for Tegra because we have individual OPP tables for the root PLLs, system clocks and device clocks. The device clocks could be muxed to a different PLLs, depending on clk requirements of a particular board.Are you saying that the clock providers for the "root PLLs" and "system clocks" have OPP tables themselves? If so, would you mind posting a patch for an updated DT binding for these changes, so it can be discussed separately?
I will post all those patches soon, thank you. ...

The device drivers don't manage the parent clocks directly and OPP core doesn't support this use-case where OPP needs to be applied to a generic/parent PLL clock. Moving the OPP management to the clk driver is the easy solution which works good in practice for Tegra, it also removes a need to switch each driver to dev_pm_opp_set_rate() usage.I admit, if clock consumer drivers could avoid calling dev_pm_opp_set_rate|opp(), that would be nice. But, as I stated, it's a fragile path from locking point of view, to call dev_pm_opp_set_rate|opp() from a clock provider driver. Personally, I think it's better to avoid it. More importantly, you also need to convince the clock subsystem maintainers, that setting an OPP internally from the clock provider driver is a good idea. As far as I can tell, they have said *no* to this, since the common clock framework was invented, I believe for good reasons.
Pushing the OPP into a CCF driver is indeed not ideal. I'm open to new ideas. I will post those patches where we could discuss this in a more details. ...

For example please see clock@60006000 and pmc@7000e400 nodes of [1]. [1] https://github.com/grate-driver/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/tegra30.dtsiThanks, that certainly helped me understand better! I see that you want to add OPP tables to clock provider nodes. As I said above, an updated DT binding is probably a good idea to discuss separately.

Okay, to not stall things from moving forward, may I suggest that you simply drop the call to lockdep_set_class() (and the corresponding comment) for now. Then you can continue to post the next parts - and if it turns out that lockdep_set_class() becomes needed, you can always add it back then.
Thank you very much for helping with reviewing this all. I'll drop the lockdep_set_class() and post the v7 shortly. Afterwards, I'll send the rest of clk, device-tree and etc related patches targeting 5.15.
