Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for submitting this. I'd prefer for Rob or someone with a more vested
interest in DT to review your binding. I have some comments on the code below.

The spinlocks for the basic clock types have always been optional. This
code should reflect that and not assume the spinlock.

Also I wonder if the assumption is true that a single spinlock
corresponding to a device_node is always the right thing for every
platform. What about a 32-bit register that contains some gating bits
and a 3-bit wide field for a mux which we perform read-modify-write
operations on?

You'll have to pardon my DT ignorance. My concerns above may be totally
crazy with respect to DT.

There are some inconsistent prints here. How about leading this trace
with a __func__ like you do below for the error messages?

!pclk_name would have caused an early return above, so this conditional
will never evaluate as true. Even if it did, I'm not sure I follow the
logic. Why set cg_pclk_name to NULL if pclk_name is NULL?

Extra whitespace typo? Again, would be nice to lead this trace with a
__func__ string.

Need to check if clk_register_gate fails and do memory leak cleanup of
name and maybe lockp for the corner case where none of the clock
registration operations succeed.

This also requires you to split your gated clocks in seperate nodes by
register if you don't want unrelated clocks locking each other out.
Also, you need a method of 'sharing' the lock outside of the gated-clock
for use by other clock types that may share the same register.

Are you assuming that all gated-clocks will be contained within a parent
node with:
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
with no other types of clocks? This generally isn't how people are
writing their device tree files.

Looking through the current dts files, the platforms that are using
clocks to any real degree are using address=1, size=0.
The only ones I see with 1/1 are only defining a fixed-clock and don't
use the reg property anyway so could just as well be 1/0.

It might be better to pass the bit field as a separate property rather
than requiring people change their reg property to suit.

myclock {
reg = <0x0120>;
enable-bit = <22>;
};

The clock-gatining-control was inspired by a single 32b register that only
has clock gating bits. Some weeks of more insight into kernel code and DT,
I agree to do this differently.

Actually, today I would rather have some platform specific node for the
clock gating register and don't name each individual clock but only use
the clocks phandle to sort out the corresponding bit.

cgc: clock-gating-control {
compatible = "marvell,orion-clkctrl";
reg = <0x12340 0x8>;
#clock-cells = <1>;
};

some_device: gateable-device {
...
clocks = <&cgc 13>;
};

The platform specific node will take care of all requirements like
spinlock or not. Maybe there will have to be a property to mask out
reserved bits in the 32b register or maybe I can assume that reserved
bits do no harm if set.
