Hi, The SCI driver currently handles two clocks, an interface clock named sci_ick and a functional clock named sci_fck. Studying the datasheets of the SH and ARM SoCs that incorportate (H)SCI(F)([AB]) instances showed (un)surprisingly that the hardware doesn't have a separate controllable interface clock. All the platforms that declare an interface clock for the SCI set it to the clock used as the SCI functional clock. The two clocks can thus be merged on the driver side, which is what this patch series does. The resulting clock is called "fck", and all H8/300, SH and ARM users (both DT and non-DT) are fixed to name their SCI clocks appropriately. Support for the "sci_ick" name is kept in the sh-sci driver to ensure DT backward compatibility, and support for the "peripheral_clk" clock to not break SH platforms that don't declare device-specific SCI clocks. The latter can be removed when all SH platforms will declare their SCI clocks properly. This series serves as a preparatory clock cleanup for the SCI baud rate generator clock support series. I decided to keep it separate as this series has more stringent internal dependencies: - The SH patches 2-3 depend on patch 1, - The DT patches 4-15 depend on patch 1, - Cleanup patch 16 depends on SH patch 2. Thanks for your comments! Changes compared to v1: - Take over the patches from Laurent, - Add Acked-by, - Handle EPROBE_DEFER, - Add missing patches to convert r8a7795 and h8300.
