Grant Likely 766e6a4ec6 clk: add DT clock binding support
Based on work 1st by Ben Herrenschmidt and Jeremy Kerr, then by Grant
Likely, this patch adds support to clk_get to allow drivers to retrieve
clock data from the device tree.

Platforms scan for clocks in DT with of_clk_init and a match table, and
the register a provider through of_clk_add_provider. The provider's
clk_src_get function will be called when a device references the
provider's OF node for a clock reference.

v6 (Rob Herring):
    - Return error values instead of NULL to match clock framework
      expectations

v5 (Rob Herring):
    - Move from drivers/of into common clock subsystem
    - Squashed "dt/clock: add a simple provider get function" and
      "dt/clock: add function to get parent clock name"
    - Rebase to 3.4-rc1
    - Drop CONFIG_OF_CLOCK and just use CONFIG_OF
    - Add missing EXPORT_SYMBOL to various functions
    - s/clock-output-name/clock-output-names/
    - Define that fixed-clock binding is a single output

v4 (Rob Herring):
    - Rework for common clk subsystem
    - Add of_clk_get_parent_name function

v3: - Clarified documentation

v2: - fixed errant ';' causing compile error
    - Editorial fixes from Shawn Guo
    - merged in adding lookup to clkdev
    - changed property names to match established convention. After
      working with the binding a bit it really made more sense to follow the
      lead of 'reg', 'gpios' and 'interrupts' by making the input simply
      'clocks' & 'clock-names' instead of 'clock-input-*', and to only use
      clock-output* for the producer nodes. (Sorry Shawn, this will mean
      you need to change some code, but it should be trivial)
    - Add ability to inherit clocks from parent nodes by using an empty
      'clock-ranges' property.  Useful for busses.  I could use some feedback
      on the new property name, 'clock-ranges' doesn't feel right to me.

Binding for simple fixed-rate clock sources.
This binding uses the common clock binding[1].
[1] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
Required properties:
- compatible : shall be "fixed-clock".
- #clock-cells : from common clock binding; shall be set to 0.
- clock-frequency : frequency of clock in Hz. Should be a single cell.
Optional properties:
- gpios : From common gpio binding; gpio connection to clock enable pin.
- clock-output-names : From common clock binding.
Example:
clock {
compatible = "fixed-clock";
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-frequency = <1000000000>;
};
