Some devices require their clocks to be available with a specific

only with their name, or alternatively through the device node of
the consumer. With drivers, that don't support DT fully yet, add
mechanism to register specific clock names.

with this, should it not be enough to add clocks=<&phandle>

Don't know, I am not an expert on DT. :)

That is the usage - Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt



I am not sure I understand what specific drivers should need to carry
this "old hack" forward. More importantly, why is it preferable to carry
the hack forward rather than fixing the drivers.

At least the GP timer seems to need this, and I don't want to touch /
verify all the potential drivers touched by this so it is easier to
provide a (semi) temporary tweak.

I see that GP timer nodes seem to be already device tree converted, at least I see the nodes in SoC.dtsi

Do we know what is going on for these that need these temporary devices? can we do a special node property for these?

I think the entire problem is coz of
timer->fclk = clk_get(NULL, omap_hwmod_get_main_clk(oh)); in case of even of_populated.

if we can get rid of usage of omap_hwmod_get_main_clk by catching them with [1], then we can force the drivers to pick up based on device node clocks= property.

It might be easier to fix 1 driver - timer, rather than introduce am33x, omap4, omap5 dra7 specific "SoC clk driver".

with that this entire patch becomes redundant.
