I know there was some discussion about clock bindings and how they
should and should not be done at Linaro Connect Europe last week. Can
someone in that discussion reply to the mailing list with what came out
of that? I only have second hand knowledge about the discussion so it
would be good for me and others to know what was discussed. I'm
especially curious because the arm soc update etherpad[1] says "DT
describes what HW is (location, type, attributes), not how HW works
(register descriptions, bitmasks, etc)." but these proposed generic
clock bindings are describing registers and bitmasks.
