I mentioned the meaning of clocks ('adc', 'sclk_adc') as following in
patch description.
But, you think that need the more proper name instead of 'sclk_adc' to mean the
correct operation of 'sclk_adc'. I'll check once again the meaning of
'sclk_adc' in data sheet
and renaming it.
Exynos3250/Exynos4/Exynos5 has 'adc' clock as following:
- 'adc' clock: bus clock for ADC
Exynos3250 has additional 'sclk_adc' clock as following:
- 'sclk_adc' clock: special clock for ADC which provide clock to internal ADC

Thanks for your review.
