Hi Georgi,

I added the 8974 clocks to this to make the WNCSS core happy (need
CXO_A2 for XO calibration), but I have a few issues:

*) msm_serial acquires a handle to GCC_BLSP1_UART2_APPS_CLK which is
parented by "xo"; the clock framework returns a clock, as the gcc driver
is probed, but as the rpmcc driver isn't probed clk_get_rate() returns
0.

Do you have any patches in your tree to fix the ordering or making the
clk_get() implement probe deferral in this case?

*) If I let the code call clk_smd_rpm_enable_scaling() my eMMC becomes
very unstable, with a rather high occurrence of timeouts during boot
(like 80% of boots fail to mount my rootfs).

Part of these (unrelated to your code) issues I think this looks good,
and hacking around these two issues allows me to get CXO_A2 ticking :)

Regards,
Bjorn
