I've added that 'has_src_clk' field for somewhat different reason.
1. As we discussed earlier, in case when src_clk is not present, I do
'src_clk = bus_clk' in v2. This way I don't have to check if src_clk
is NULL every time and use bus_clk to get rate. If I set src_clk =
NULL, I'll have to add selector code, which wouldn't be so elegant,
and contradicts what we've discussed.
2. On the other hand, I don't want to enable bus_clk twice in case
when src_clk is not present, that just doesn't feel right (user would
see incorrect refcount value in DebugFS, etc). And if "clk_src =
bus_clk', and I haven't enabled it second time, then I shouldn't try
to disable it second time, right?
The only way I can see to accomplish (1) and (2) together, is to use
that 'has_src_clk' flag. For me it still looks better than enabling
bus_clk twice, or checking if clk_src is NULL every time we need to
get clock rate. Please let me know if you still have a strong opinion
on this one.
