Hi Dario,

The series was born from the need to manage the PWM backlight of the display connected to my beaglebone board. To hit the target, I had to develop drivers for PWM management which in turn relied on drivers for managing timers and clocks, all developed according to the driver model. My intention was to use the SoC-specific API only at strictly necessary points in the code. My previous patches for migrating the AM335x display driver to the driver model had required the implementation of additional functions outside the concerns of the driver, (settings for dividing the pixel clock rate, configuring the display DPLL rate, ....) not being able to use the API of the related clock drivers. This series shouldn't have repeated the same kind of mistake. Furthermore, I also wanted to fix that kind of forced choice. Almost everything should have been accessible via the driver model API. In the series there are also some patches that could be submitted separately, but which I have however inserted to avoid applying future patches to incorporate them. With this last consideration, I hope I have convincingly justified the large number of patches in the series.
The patch enabling address translation into a CPU physical address from device-tree even in case of crossing levels with #size-cells = <0>, is crucial for the series. The previous implementation was unable to perform the address translation required by the am33xx device tree. I tried to apply in a conservative way as few changes as possible and to verify the execution of all the tests already developed, as well as the new ones I added for the new feature.
Thank you for you patches.
In my opinion it's better if you split this series as it is - too big - modifies different subsystems - contains as fixes as new features
I'd recommend to separate - fixes first, like clk: remove a redundant header arch: sandbox: fix typo in clk.h fdt: translate address if #size-cells = <0> omap: timer: fix the rate setting dm: core: add a function to decode display timings .. - clk patches - pwm/backlight patches - video: omap: panel patches
And I'd recommend not to port device tree bindings in u-boot as it's just duplication of kernel binding which u-boot shell follow. Just providing links to Kernel binding in commit messages should be enough.
Changes in v2:
- Add the clk_ prefix to the divider functions.
- Add kernel-doc comments to the exported functions.
- Merged to patch [09/31] clk: ti: refactor mux and divider clock drivers.
- Remove the 'ti_am3_prcm_clocks' driver. Handle 'prcm_clocks' node in the 'ti_am3_prcm' driver.
- Update the commit message.
- Fix a missing line in the commit message.
- Add dm_flags to global_data structure and GD_DM_FLG_SIZE_CELLS_0 macro to test without recompiling.
- Update the OF_CHECK_COUNTS macro in order to have just one #define by bringing the GD_DM_FLG_SIZE_CELLS_0 into the expression.
- Lower-case the 0xC019 hex number.
- Remove the 'ti_am3_scm_clocks' driver. Handle 'scm_clocks' node in the 'ti_am3_scm' driver.
- Update the commit message.
