That would allow us to make sure the clk is working. Are the branches in GCC ever turned on or off at runtime though? Or do we just turn them on because they're defaulted off out of reset and then leave them on? I ask because it may be easier to never expose these clks in Linux, hit the enable bits in the branches during clk driver probe, and then act like they never exist because we don't really use them. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
