Yes, I mentioned it in cover letter. For your convenience I just
copy'n'paste it here:

clkdev_create() returns it.

For example, chapter 1.0, section 1.1 describes clock gating and
fractional divider for UART. Also the high bit updates the actual
divider after we supply m and n values.
Since we have the clock implementation which enables one bit per device
we have to do this in a way of clock tree.
If you have any better suggestion we would improve our driver.

What do you mean under LPSS? We mean the entire IP block consists of
several devices (we only can say which and in what configuration
dynamically). devname here corresponds to the each device in the LPSS
IP block.
As an example
clock enable_cnt prepare_cnt rate
accuracy phase

Yes. The actual consumers do that: spi-pxa2xx, 8250_dw, i2c-designware.

In the mentioned drivers. For example, for UART is a clock called
'baudclk' which is changed whenever user changes a baud rate.
