This patch adds a helper function to configure clock parents and
rates as specified in clock-parents, clock-rates DT properties
for a consumer device and a call to it before driver is bound to
a device.

Changes since v4:
 - added note explaining how to skip setting parent and rate
   of a clock,
 - moved of_clk_dev_init() calls to the platform bus,
 - added missing call to of_node_put(),
 - dropped debug traces.

Changes since v3:
 - added detailed description of the assigned-clocks subnode,
 - added missing 'static inline' to the function stub definition,
 - clk-conf.c is now excluded when CONFIG_OF is not set,
 - s/of_clk_device_setup/of_clk_device_init.

Changes since v2:
 - edited in clock-bindings.txt, added note about 'assigned-clocks'
   subnode which may be used to specify "global" clocks configuration
   at a clock provider node,
 - moved of_clk_device_setup() function declaration from clk-provider.h
   to clk-conf.h so required function stubs are available when
   CONFIG_COMMON_CLK is not enabled,

Changes since v1:
 - the helper function to parse and set assigned clock parents and
   rates made public so it is available to clock providers to call
   directly;
 - dropped the platform bus notification and call of_clk_device_setup()
   is is now called from the driver core, rather than from the
   notification callback;
 - s/of_clk_get_list_entry/of_clk_get_by_property.

Is this the input frequency or serial baud rate? Looks like a baud
rate, but the clock framework needs input (to the uart) frequency. I
would say this should be clock-frequency and specify the max baud rate
as is being done with i2c bindings. The uart driver should know how to
convert between input clock freq and baud rate.

I don't really like clock-parents. The parent information is part of
the clock source, not the consumer.

We've somewhat decided against having every single clock defined in DT
and rather only describe a clock controller with leaf clocks to
devices. That is not a hard rule, but for complex clock trees that is
the norm. Doing something like this will require all levels of the
clock tree to be described. You may have multiple layers of parents
that have to be configured correctly. How are you configuring the rest
of the tree?

This seems like a work-around due to having clock-parents in the
consumer node. If (I'm not convinced we should) we have a binding for
parent config, it needs to be a single binding that works for both
cases.

This UART example is not quite representative for the issues I have been
trying to address with this patch set. There is a need to set (an initial)
input clock frequency. E.g. in case of multimedia devices there may be
a need to set clock parent and frequency of an input clock to multiple IP
blocks, so they are clocked synchronously and data is carried properly
across a whole processing chain. Thus there may not be even clock output
in an IP block, but still input clock needs to be set. IIUC there is
similar issue with audio, where it is difficult to calculate the clock
frequencies/determine parent clocks in individual drivers algorithmically.

I'm not sure we must always consider the parent information as property
of a clock source. If for example we expose a structure like below as
single clock object, supporting clock gating, parent and frequency
setting the parent setting is still accessible from within a device
driver. And clock parent selection may depend on a system configuration
not immediately obvious from within a single device driver perspective.

I believe even clock controllers where clocks are represented as flat
array often describe the clock tree entirely by parenthood, the tree
structure is just not obvious from the DT binding.
In addition, there seems to be appearing more and more clock controller
DT bindings describing their clocks individually.

When this issue was first raised during an ARM kernel summit it was
proposed to add 'assigned' prefix to DT properties for such bindings.

How about separate properties for the default clock configuration,
e.g. assigned-clocks/assigned-clock-parents/assigned-clock-rates ?
So a clock provider would look like:

    clkcon {
        ...
        #clock-cells = <1>;

        assigned-clocks = <&clkcon 16>, <&clkcon 17>;
        assigned-clock-parents = <0>, <&clkcon 1>;
        assigned-clock-rates = <200000>;
    };

And a consumer device node:

    uart@a000 {
        compatible = "fsl,imx-uart";
        reg = <0xa000 0x1000>;
        ...
        clocks = <&clkcon 0>;
        clock-names = "baud";

        assigned-clocks = <&clkcon 3>, <&clkcon 0>;
        assigned-clock-parents = <&pll 1>;
        assigned-clock-rates = <0>, <460800>;
};

?

Just to be used as an example, this is how the SMIA++ sensor driver computes 
the PLL parameters automatically based on the input frequency, desired output 
frequency and various hardware limits.

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/media/i2c/smiapp-pll.c

See the code complexity and keep in mind that it only handles a single device 
with a single set of constraints and a single parent. If we add several 
devices to the mix, as well as selectable parents, there would indeed probably 
be no sane way to configure the clocks algorithmically.

Yeah, if we can avoid having a dummy node someplace, it is always 
better. Only issue might be the initialization order, this was the 
reason I created the dummy node if I recall right. But I guess we can 
just scan the clock provider nodes second time at a later phase of boot 
(or just store the default info for later use.)

Yeah, we discussed this internally and some ones where not too excited
about such new properties, so I tried implementation of the bindings which
Grant initially suggested.
Having separate properties like these has an advantage though that the
clocks configuration specification is separated and not mixed with
regular clock properties describing solely the clock connections.

OK, I'm going to prepare new version of this series with the altered
DT binding.

One issue I'm a bit concerned about with an initcall-like approach is
it may not work well for clock providers in kernel modules which can be
loaded at any time.  So doing the configuration upon the clock provider
registration might have worked better.  Then we could disallow (defer)
a clock provider registration if any of its dependencies (as specified
through assigned-clock* properties) are not satisfied.  Do you think
that could work ?
