This patch set is intended to add clock deregistration support to
the common clock framework, required for clock suppliers as loadable
modules. Previous version of this series can be found at [1].
Changes since v2:
- reordered the patches so the race condition is fixed before it can
actually cause any issues,
- fixed handling of NULL clock pointers in __clk_get(), __clk_put(),
- added patch adding actual asignment of clk->owner; more details are
discussed in that specific patch.
Changes since v1:
- moved of_clk_{lock, unlock}, __of_clk_get_from_provider() function
declaractions to a local header,
- renamed clk_dummy_* to clk_nodrv_*.

1.7.9.5
Add helper functions for the of_clk_providers list locking and
an unlocked variant of of_clk_get_from_provider().
These functions are intended to be used in the clkdev to avoid
race condition in the device tree based clock look up in clk_get().

1.7.9.5
There is currently a race condition in the device tree part of clk_get()
function, since the pointer returned from of_clk_get_by_name() may become
invalid before __clk_get() call. I.e. due to the clock provider driver
remove() callback being called in between of_clk_get_by_name() and
__clk_get().
Fix this by doing both the look up and __clk_get() operations with the
clock providers list mutex held. This ensures that the clock pointer
returned from __of_clk_get_from_provider() call and passed to __clk_get()
is valid, as long as the clock supplier module first removes its clock
provider instance and then does clk_unregister() on the corresponding
clocks.

This patch adds common __clk_get(), __clk_put() clkdev helpers which
replace their platform specific counterparts when the common clock
API is enabled.
The owner module pointer field is added to struct clk so a reference
to the clock supplier module can be taken by the clock consumers.

Assign module owner of a driver of a device passed to _clk_register()

Initially I had an 'owner' field added to struct clk_init_data so it can
be set explicitly in clock providers. But this required modifications
of all users of (devm_)clk_register() as struct clk_init_data instance
was in most cases an unitialized stack variable. This would also require
adding yet another argument to various clk_register_* functions
registering the standard clocks. So I went for assigning clk->owner from
dev->driver->owner. The disadvantages are that dereferencing dev->driver
may be potentially unsafe when not holding struct device::mutex. And
there might be cases where clk->owner will need to be NULL. One option
is to set dev argument of clk_register_*() to NULL for that, but it
predates devm_*.
Presumably a requirement could be added that callers of clk_register*()
must ensure dev->driver won't change during a call to these functions ?

clk_unregister() is currently not implemented and it is required when
a clock provider module needs to be unloaded.
Normally the clock supplier module is prevented to be unloaded by
taking reference on the module in clk_get().
For cases when the clock supplier module deinitializes despite the
consumers of its clocks holding a reference on the module, e.g. when
the driver is unbound through "unbind" sysfs attribute, there are
empty clock ops added. These ops are assigned temporarily to struct
clk and used until all consumers release the clock, to avoid invoking
callbacks from the module which just got removed.

Changes since v2:
- none.
Changes since RFC v1:
- renamed clk_dummy_* to clk_nodrv_*.
Changes since v3 of the original patch [1]:
- reparent all children to the orphan list instead of leaving
the clock unregistered when it has child clocks,
- removed unnecessary prerequisite checks in clk_debug_unregister(),
- struct clk is now being freed only when the last clock consumer
calls clk_put(),
- empty clock ops are used after clk_unregister() has been called
until all references to the clock are released and the clock
object is freed.

Why are these exported? clkdev can only be built into the kernel, as can
the common clk framework - they can't be modular. So why would a module
wish to access these directly?

I must have been mislead by the fact that some ARM sub-architecture exports
those, have added them initially and then didn't think enough about it and
left these in. Actually, at some point I noticed the exporting is not
needed,
but never did get around to remove it. Thanks. The updated series to
follow.
