Not exactly the same model. For rates we support public clk_recalc_rate
and clk_get_rate functions.

I was suggesting that in my previous email. However I've thought on it a
bit and I'm not sure there is any value to having a public
clk_recalc_accuracy right now.

The only reason to do so would be if the accuracy can change in such a
way that the clock framework is never aware of it.  This would mean that
somehow the accuracy changed "behind our back".

One hypothetical example is a PLL which Linux knows about, but perhaps
is controlled by some other co-processor (not Linux). In this case the
co-processor may reprogram/relock the PLL in a way that affects it's
accuracy, and a Linux driver that knows this may want to update the CCF
book-keeping with a call to clk_recalc_accuracy.

That's all hypothetical though and it can be added in later. Looking
over your change again I think that it is sufficient for now.

Can you respin this patch with fixes for the two nitpicks I outlined in
my previous mail and rebase it onto -rc1 when it drops? That should be
any day now.

Thanks!
Mike
