It might not actually be too hard to get multiplatform working with the ATAGS based board files (we do that on some of the other platforms), but there is probably no reason to try hard. > > * Moving to common-clk breaks things including cpufreq > > and others.

Please have a closer look at the "ARM: exynos: work around missing gpio code on multiplatform" patch, I think there a few files I had to touch that actually rely on the legacy gpio code: * the pm-gpio.c file * the s3c_i2c0_cfg_gpio function * the eint irqchip If none of these are needed for DT-based systems, we should probably build that code conditionally based on the CONFIG_EXYNOS_ATAGS symbol I introduced. > > * sparsemem support is not available on multiplatform > > There was some discussion some time ago whether we really need sparsemem on > Exynos.

How are you planning to solve this? Do you want to have a combined driver that registers both a clocksource and a pwm?
