Mike,
Thanks for your comments. If I have understood the coordinated clock
as described above, I believe this patch series also attempts to do
almost the same thing. The advantage of using coordinated clock over
the approach in this series is that each platform need not define a
new clock type.
In this patch series, for all exynos SoC's, a new cpu clock type was
introduced which is reusable for multi-cluster exynos SoCs as well.
The new clock type is part of the clock driver and all drivers can use
standard clock API to access this clock type instance.
So probably, all the logic for the new cpu_clk clock type introduced
in this patch would go into the vendor_supplied_magic() callback. So
it sounds like the coordinated clock approach would be helpful. Is
this something that you are already working on?
Thanks,
Thomas.
