Well, I could use assigned-clock-rates, though it seems like I'd then 
have to implement the clock provider framework for both the FSI 
controller driver and the CFAM driver, which is a lot of extra work. FSI 
controller isn't really a clock provider, it's a bus like i2c (which 
uses clock-frequency), so it doesn't quite fit in my opinion...


Thanks for your detailed review Krzysztof,

Eddie
