The clock for the clocksource/timer
(drivers/clocksource/time-lpc32xx.c) comes from cgu/ccu and can also
come from creg-clk. So afaik they must use CLK_OF_DECLARE. Or is there
something I am missing?
Isn't true that most SoC system clock drivers must use CLK_OF_DECLARE
because the system timer require clocks early? I thought this was the
whole point.
Since it is possible that the 32k clock from creg-clk can be use as a
parent clock for the timer doesn't this mean it also must use
CLK_OF_DECLARE?
If it wasn't possible for creg-clk to be used as a parent clock for
the timer it could have been a platform device.
The lpc18xx clock configuration that require creg-clk early would be:
32k - > PLL0 -> BASE_M3/M4_CLK -> CLK_M3/M4_TIMER0. See second figure
on the webpage. Note that this is probably not a common configuration,
but it is a valid one. (PLL0 accepts input down to 14 kHz)
