Some arch can implement its own clock APIs, for example AR7 [1]. The sprd serial driver is used on ARM and ARM64 platforms only for now, which uses clock functions provided by COMMON_CLK, but it has the possibility of being used on other architecture platforms, that was my thought. I should revise this commit message to: " Because some mips Kconfig-s select CONFIG_HAVE_CLK but not define clk_set_parent which is used by the sprd serial driver. ... " Does it make sense?
