As far as I understand it was decided to handle this on the consumer
driver side in mainline, together with OPP tables and "required-opps" in
the device tree. If you look at e.g. sc7180.dtsi you can see that this
is heavily used there. Also see e.g. [1] for some links to related
discussions.

For MSM8916 at least the SDHCI and DSI driver should support this 
already. Some other older drivers (e.g. QUP, USB) would need some change
similar to [2] (just like they still need changes for interconnects).

I'm not entirely sure why it was decided to not do this as part of the
clock core (maybe someone can explain or link a relevant mailing list
post?), but we should try to keep it consistent in any case. :)

Thanks,
Stephan
