Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] clk: Fix debugfs_create_*() usage

	Hi Mike, Stephen,

When exposing data access through debugfs, the correct
debugfs_create_*() functions must be used, matching the data types.

This patch series remove all casts from data pointers passed to
debugfs_create_*() functions, as such casts prevent the compiler from flagging
bugs, and fixes wrong usage exposed by that.

Please refer to the individual patches for a changelog.

Thanks!

Geert Uytterhoeven (4):
  clk: Improve flags doc for of_clk_detect_critical()
  clk: Use octal instead of symbolic permissions
  clk: Show symbolic clock flags in debugfs
  clk: Fix debugfs_create_*() usage

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
