Re: [PATCHv2 1/9] at91: provide macb clks with "pclk" and "hclk" name

hi Russell,
quoted
There is no reference to a "pclk" or "hclk" in the AT91 architecture.
So to avoid possible confusion, maybe create two "fake" clocks both
parented to "macb_clk", and add a comment they're only for
compatibility with the AVR32.
It doesn't matter what's in the documentation.

What matters more than conforming to documentation is keeping the drivers
in a clean and maintainable state without throwing lots of ifdefs into
them.
I'm not saying the drivers need ifdefs, they should request both
"pclk" and "hclk" as suggested.

What I was suggesting is the platform clock setup on AT91 as:
    macb_clk
        |
        +-- hclk
        +-- pclk

rather than:
    pclk
        |
        +-- hclk

Regards,
  Andrew Victor
