Instead, the optional alias passed for divider/mux register functions can actually be a list of alias names, the list being terminated by a zero-length string.

Also the clk_table is allocated on all dt platforms so these platforms have to handle the (small) memory consumption in any case and non-dt platforms are supposed to die out in the not to distant future. I.e. I'm working on s3c24xx dt support, Tomasz is working on s3c64xx dt support, exynos5 already only has dt support and exynos4 will probably lose non-dt support at some point. And if someone converts the other s5p SoCs to the common clock framework they should already have the means to go to dt directly by then. So the non-dt common-clock path is merely a "short" intermediate step to support smooth transitions to dt making the memory argument in my opinion a moot point :-) Handling the aliases directly also requires adding quit a lot more {MUX/DIV/...}_*A aliases for all the necessary combinations. And in general I also find the readability of separate aliases a lot better - as shown in the s3c2443 clk driver in the second series. And the removal once we only support dt will be a lot cleaner too.

Heiko's approach look much more clean to me and even for Exynos platform which has currently about 350 clocks and is going to be dt-only starting from 3.10 we are talking about 1.5kB of memory. Other (s3c64/24xx) platforms have much less clocks (70...150). IMHO all clocks aliases should be registered as it is done in Heiko's patch series. And the clocks table could just be freed on non-dt platforms if it is a real issue and anyone is concerned about it.

Does that mean we just drop support for universal and nuri non-dt board support? Or, will there be a equivalent dt support added for these boards?

Or, > will there be a equivalent dt support added for these boards? I think Tomasz has some initial dts files for Universal_c210 ready, and Nuri could probably just be dropped. But we need Kyungmin's opinion on that. I'm not sure about other boards, they look pretty basic though. So it shouldn't be difficult to replace them with corresponding dts files. Currently there are: arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-smdk4x12.c arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-origen.c arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-nuri.c arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-universal_c210.c arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-armlex4210.c arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-smdkv310.c And there are dts files for: arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4210-smdkv310.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4210-origen.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5250-smdk5250.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5250-snow.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4210-trats.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5440-ssdk5440.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-smdk4412.dts So except Universal_c210 and Nuri the only ones not supporting booting from DT are these two simple boards, which seem to be maintained by Samsung: arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-smdk4x12.c arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-armlex4210.c It would be nice to make Exynos DT only in this kernel release. I guess there was enough time to get all boards converted to DT already. -- Regards, Sylwester -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I am not sure if anyone is using SMDK4212. Even if it is required, one can easily add a dts file for that board as DT support for 4x12 already exists. arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4x12.dtsi arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4x12-pinctrl.dtsi
