Yea, it is very similar to s5p-tv/hdmiphy_drv.c. On top of this, I want
to make hdmiphy platform device as Clock provider for hdmiphy clock,
as you have done for cam_clkout*. Hdmi driver will call set_rate on this
clock.

I will post patches for the above separation and move hdmiphy to Generic
Phy framework after we get clarity on how to add additional callbacks.

Thanks for your reply.
