This basically looks reasonable.

I assume the DT bindings are documented in the tegradrm driver series? I
haven't looked at that yet.

I'd like to see explicit acks for the DT changes from e.g. Terje and
Mark Zhang, and anyone else involved in previous discussions about them.

Could you please split up the patches a little differently? I'd like to see:

1) Changes to the clock driver
2) Changes to add AUXDATA
3) Changes to .dts files

The reason being that these are logically separate changes. (1) and (2)
would be applied to the "soc" branch, and (3) to the "dt" branch.

Finally, I'd prefer not to rename the match parameters in the clock
drivers any more; just set up the AUXDATA to match whatever driver names
the clock driver is expecting. That will reduce churn to the clock
driver. I really hope soon that Tegra will support DT bindings for
clocks so we can get rid of the AUXDATA, but unfortunately I haven't
seen any movement towards this:-(

Thanks.
