When we were doing such conversion for other platforms, we pointed clock consumers to the board clocks directly. There is no need to go through the gcc to fetch pxo. Instead you can use a <&pxo_board> in the dts directly. Typically the sequence is the following: - Minor cleanup of the clock-controller driver (ARRAY_SIZE(parent_data), removal of unused clock sources, unused enum entries, etc) - update drivers to use both .name and .fw_name in replacement of parent_names. Use parent_hws where possible. - update dtsi to reference clocks using clocks/clock-names properties. Pass board/rpmh/rpm clocks directly to their consumers without bandaids in the gcc driver. - (optionally) after several major releases drop parent_data.name completely. I think we mostly skipped this, since it provides no gain. This way you don't have to play around clk_get to return PXO_SRC from gcc clock-controller. -- With best wishes Dmitry
