That hierarchy depends on the actual SoC, right?
AFAIU, both are derived from RPCSRC, and can be controlled individually
on some SoCs.

BTW, I still haven't seen a patch for drivers/clk/renesas/r8a77995-cpg-mssr.c
adding RPC-related clocks, so I have no idea what's the Linux view of the
hierarchy on your system.

Thanks!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
