Bindings must be a separate patch from the driver changes. If this
causes bisectability issues, this means entire solution breaks ABI and
is not appropriate anyway...
This is basically how we handled CLK IDs on Amlogic clk bindings for the
last years, the amount of changes is very low and rather exceptional
compared to early development stage.
The commits with bindings are used in devicetree-rebasing repo, so we
want them to be separate.
A lot of commits changes the bindings and other part of the kernel source,
it was solved with git filter-repo a long time ago.
While I understand in an ideal world those commits should only touch
Documentation/bindings, it's sometime not possible.
Meson is the only or almost the only platform making such changes. I
don't get why, because the conflict could be easily avoided with using
different names for defines in bindings and local clock. Approach of
having bindings strictly tied with driver commit is never desired.
If we did it now, we would have make it differently and expose all the clock
IDs on the bindings like on Qcom, be sure of that.
Also one more argument maybe not relevant here but for other cases -
this makes literally impossible to include the clock ID in DTS in the
same kernel revision, because you must not merge driver branch to DTS
branch. SoC folks were complaining about this many times.
Actually we handle this very simply by having such patches merged in a immutable
branch merged in the clock and DT pull-requests, it worked perfectly so far
and neither Stephen or Arnd complained about that.
Best regards,
