I have no idea how to deal with firmware clocks on bcm2825, and I'm > not sure Jean-Michel even has a hardware platform to test it. sorry as being a bcm2835 maintainer so long, i'm not always aware of the ambiguous meaning of bcm2835. The bcm2835-rpi.dtsi is used by all Raspberry Pi generations. So it's sufficient to test it with a Raspberry Pi 4, but we would gain support for all generations. So my request is to move the changes from bcm2711 specific dtsi to the general dtsi. There is no need to touch any driver, please have a look at this patch [1] to see what i had in my mind. Just compile tested. I hope you understand, i want to have it for all generations in one step.
