This patch reworks the clock binding to avoid too much detail in DT.
Now we have only compatible string per type of clock
(remark from Rob https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/25/492)

I have no idea what the clock trees and clock controller in these
chips
look like, so it's hard to say if the changes here are good. It still
looks like things are somewhat fine grained clocks in DT. I'll leave
it up to the platform maintainers to decide...
Is this series breaking ABI? If yes, why not do what Maxime did for
the
Allwinner/sunxi clocks and just fully convert over to a
one-node-per-clock-controller binding? This one-node-per-clock
stuff is
pretty unfortunate, and if we're deprecating platforms (patch #1) then
now might be a good time to re-evaluate the whole thing.
The goal of my patchset was to be aligned with DRM / KMS development
and
to offer
the possibility to make a correct video playback on STiH407/STiH410
platform.
Our milestone is the 4.8 for that.

Currently people need these patches to work.
I'm not sure it's a good time to re-evaluate the whole thing.

Is it possible to re-evaluate later ?
Are you OK to break ABI later? Or at a minimum, deprecate the current
binding (maintain it forever for legacy platforms) and create a new
clock controller binding description that supersedes the legacy binding
for all new platforms?

If the answer to either question is "yes", then I'm OK to put it aside
for now. But if the answer to both is "no", and this patch series is
breaking ABI, then we really should fix it now.
Hi Mike,
i m ok to break ABI later.
Hi Gabriel,

This change never received any other reviews, and no pings before v4.7
was released. Sorry that it fell through the cracks, but always feel
free to re-ping leading up to the merge window.

Can you rebase this against -rc1? Also, do you have a plan to rework the
binding to move away from the one-node-per-clock style?

Regards,
Mike

Hi  Mike,

Ok i will send a v3 rebased on a rc1.

Concerning the binding rework, i plan to start work at the end of October.

Thanks

Gabriel

Many Thanks !

Best Regards

Gabriel.
