Hi Roger, Rajendra, All

Sorry that disturbing you.

I'm supporting Android OMAP4 kernels (K3.0/K3.4) and like to clarify few
points regarding this approach (having into account possible future 
migrations
on newer Kernels and OMAP5).
If I understand everything right, this patch series allows to create 
clock binding
in DT using following syntax: clocks = <&aux_clks 3>
  - does it means that in worst case there will be ~200 clock IDs defined?
  - does it means that clock nodes binding using phandles 
(human-friendly notation)
isn't going to be supported?
for example:
     clocks = <&sys_clkin_ck>
     clocks = <&dss_sys_clk &dss_tv_clk &dss_dss_clk>)

I was horrified to think about the problems of this approach support
(in case if there would be more then ~30 IDs) - just miss with on digit
and weeks of debugging would be guaranteed.

Please, say me that i'm wrong.
And why clock DT data can't be auto-generated like all other OMAP data
to close this questions?

Thanks.
