So it should not have a simple-bus compatible either, and as such we cannot
simply change the mod0 driver from of_clk_define to a platform driver because
then we need to instantiate platform devs for the mod0 clock nodes, which
means making the clock node a simple-bus.

I guess we can do that as a temporary measure until we get things
right on that front. I'm totally open to doing that work, so I'm not
asking you to do it.

I can see your logic in wanting the ir_clk prcm sub-node to use the
mod0 compatible string, so how about we make the mod0 driver both
register through of_declare and as a platform driver. Note this means
that it will try to bind twice to the ir_clk node, since of_clk_declare
will cause it to try and bind there too AFAIK.

Hmmm, I could live with that for a while too. That shouldn't even
require too much work, since the first thing we check in the mod0 code
is that we actually have something in reg, which will not be the case
in the OF_CLK_DECLARE case.

The of_clk_declare bind will fail though because there is no regs
property, so this double bind is not an issue as long as we do not
log errors on the first bind failure.

Yep, exactly.

Note that the ir_clk node will still need an "ir-clk" compatible as
well for the MFD to find it and assign the proper resources to it.

No, it really doesn't. At least for now, we have a single mod0 clock
under the PRCM MFD. If (and only if) one day, we find ourselves in a
position where we have two mod0 clocks under the PRCM, then we'll fix
the MFD code to deal with that, because it really should deal with it.

Ok, using only the mod0 compat string works for me. I'll respin my
patch-set (minus the one patch you've already merged) to make the modo
clk driver use both of_clk_declare and make it a platfrom driver, and
use the mod0 compat string for the ir-clk node.

Not sure when I'll get this done exactly though, but we still have
a while before 3.20 :)

Regards,

Hans
