Naming is hard. I'm not sure clkdomain.c is the best expression. Maybe
clk-alwon.c? I see ALWON used alot amongst hardware people who live in a
world of eight-character naming limitations.

If this header still existed I would berate you mercilessly. Luckily for
you it no longer exists and only causes a compile error ;-)

Minor nitpick: please use of_clk_get_parent_count. I spent a solid 5
minutes writing that function and I need people to use it so I can get a
return on my investment.

Otherwise the patch looks good. I believe that this method is targeting
always-on clock in a production environment, which is different from the
CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED stuff which typically is helpful while bringing up new
hardware or dealing with a platform that has incomplete driver support.

I wonder if there is a clever way for existing clock providers
(expressed in DT) to use this without having to create a separate node
of clocks with the "always-on-clk-domain" flag. Possibly the common
clock binding could declare some always-on flag that is standardized?
Then the framework core could use this code easily. Not sure if that is
a good idea though...

Regards,
Mike
