Hi Jonathan,

I think we had a similar discussion before.

The in-kernel clock infrastructure HAVE_CLK <linux/clk.h> is not suitable
since it is designed for SoC like systems.

1) The API is exported by arch and platform code.
2) Data structures differ between the different implementations.
3) Coexistence with other clock providers is by design impossible.

Greetings,
Michael
