Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] clk: fractional-divider: Introduce NO_PRESCALER flag

The newly introduced flag, when set, makes the flow to skip
the assumption that the caller will use an additional 2^scale
prescaler to get the desired clock rate.

As I mentioned in v1 comment, it seems to be good to decouple the
prescaler knowledge from this common fractional divider clk driver.
This way, we'll make it simpler and easier to maintain. Also, then, the
NO_PRESCALER flag is not needed at all. However, it seems that two
Intel drivers which use the frational divider drivers will be affected
and rate negotiation logics need to be implemented for them. Please
consider if it's doable or not.

If we ultimately keep the prescaler knowledge here, please consider to
add the NO_PRESCALER flag for i.MX7ulp as it hasn't the prescaler IIUC.

Liu Ying

The current driver works for the certain hardware without this change.
If you think it's better, submit a proposal we will discuss.

You mean there is a code which is currently using this driver w/o
taking into account this prescaller flavour? Can you, please, point
out, I'll definitely update it. Thanks for the catch!

Well, I'm not afford to do so. Just share an idea. I haven't got the
intel HW to test. As I mentioned in v1 comment, it seems that you have
experience on relevent drivers and HW to test, may I encourage you to
do that :-) Or forget that if you really think you won't do that.

Noted. I am in support of this idea, and will help with testing on Intel HW
if anyone submits the code.

Thanks, I'll update in v3. Can you, please, look the other patch(es)?
