Some of the clock.h contents are needed by the new OMAP clock driver,

Looking at the change, I wonder what the rules are for the movement?
commit message was not clear.

This is kind of a merge of almost everything that is needed by clock
drivers at some point. I can move the changes along to the patches that
actually need the exports for clarity and to keep compilation clean.

I think it is better to do in stages (while ensuring compilation is
clean) - it is a bit hard to understand need and context of movement
when a singular movement is done :(

Yep, will do the change for this.

Why are these being moved to generic?

These are used from the dpll.c by the ops.

The ops should probably move as well from mach-omap2. No reason to keep
it around in mach-omap2 then.

There is reason.... I don't want to move _everything_ from mach-omap2 in
the first phase. But after initial support is in, yes, they can be moved.

I will re-iterate my suggestion again - DPLL enable/disable stuff is going to be a series of steps, which would not change if we do DT or non-DT. currently those steps reside inside mach-omap2. having a driver call into mach-omap2 is counter-intutive, at least to me. if we want to have a cleanup in the future, mach-omap2 should depend on drivers/clk rather than the other way around. This is the reason of requesting files in drivers/clk to be as isolated as possible - dpll operations (the actual steps) of doing dpll configuration does sound isolated enough to move into drivers/clk and not have reverse dependencies.

Any reverse dependencies should be clearly mentioned with reasoning why it cannot be moved in the respective patches, it was a little hard for me to indicate precisely which functions make absolutely no sense and which not.

I am not saying this is an easy step to do, but for our future cleanups, it does sound reasonable to expect from this series.
