I have an issue with that, because this is a pure duplication of the clock_sel
information already contained in the clock data:

static const struct clksel omap24xx_gpt_clksel[] = {
         { .parent =&func_32k_ck, .rates = gpt_32k_rates },
	{ .parent =&sys_ck,      .rates = gpt_sys_rates },
       	{ .parent =&alt_ck,      .rates = gpt_alt_rates },
	{ .parent = NULL },
};

And duplicating the same information somewhere else is most of the time a bad
idea.

Yep, there's no way that info should be in the hwmod data, in the current
setup.  It belongs in the clkdev tables.  Example below.

That being said... I don't really know how to handle that properly :-)

We have to find a better way to select the proper source clock in a soc
independent way.

Maybe Paul will have some idea?

Here's how it's done:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=128596931017785&w=2

and

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=128596931417805&w=2

The famous clock alias... I don't know why but I always forgot that solution each time I have such concern:-(
This is indeed the very clean and cool way to do that clock selection.
We can even remove this #define to identified them and use the clock string name directly.

Thanks Paul,
Benoit
