Is this series breaking ABI? If yes, why not do what Maxime did for the
Allwinner/sunxi clocks and just fully convert over to a
one-node-per-clock-controller binding? This one-node-per-clock stuff is
pretty unfortunate, and if we're deprecating platforms (patch #1) then
now might be a good time to re-evaluate the whole thing.

Mike

The goal of my patchset was to be aligned with DRM / KMS development and 
to offer
the possibility to make a correct video playback on STiH407/STiH410 
platform.
Our milestone is the 4.8 for that.

Currently people need these patches to work.
I'm not sure it's a good time to re-evaluate the whole thing.

Is it possible to re-evaluate later ?

Best regards,
Gabriel

Are you OK to break ABI later? Or at a minimum, deprecate the current
binding (maintain it forever for legacy platforms) and create a new
clock controller binding description that supersedes the legacy binding
for all new platforms?

If the answer to either question is "yes", then I'm OK to put it aside
for now. But if the answer to both is "no", and this patch series is
breaking ABI, then we really should fix it now.

Mike
