Subject: [RFC v2 1/1] clk: Add notifier support in clk_prepare/clk_unprepare

Add the below two notifier events so drivers which are interested in
knowing the clock status can act accordingly. This is extremely useful
in some of the DVFS (Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling) design.

CLK_PREPARED
CLK_UNPREPARED

Sorry, I'll send v3 since this bread build.

So, on prepare, we notify after we've prepared the clock. On unprepare,
we notify after the clock has been shut down. Are you sure that's the
correct ordering? Would it not be better to view it in a stack-like
fashion, iow:

get
prepare
notify-prepare
enable
disable
notify-unprepare
unprepare
put

?

This implies that we're only going to have a maximum of 32 reason codes
here. Is that enough?

Yes, these should be stacked/nested better for consistency.

But for DVFS, the voltage needs to be raised before the prepare body is
run, so that if clk_prepare actually enables the clock, the voltage is
already at the safe level required by that clock. Similarly, for
unprepare, you can only lower the voltage after having turned off the
clock, which is guaranteed after the unprepare body. So, I think you
want to move the notifier for prepare in the code above (and rename it
to pre/before_prepare?), rather than the notifier for unprepare.

In order to cover more cases, you might have both
{pre,post}_{un,}prepare notifiers, although I'm not sure when you'd use
the other two options.

Oh yes I should raised notify before prepare body is run.

Right, maybe {pre,post}_{un,}prepare will be useful.
