Some platforms use to migrate temporarily to another parent during cpu frequency
scaling, e.g. Exynos and Tegra. Once the frequency is changed the latch on to
original parent.

The generic cpufreq-cpu0 driver use clk_set_rate API to scale cpu frequency.
This patch is an attempt to address the above mentioned requirement.

This is achieved as follows:

Add a clk flag "CLK_SET_RATE_TEMP_PARENT" for clocks which need to migrate to
another parent during set_rate operation on them.

Add "temp_parent_name" and "tmp_parent" fields to clk structure i.e the name of
temp_parent_clock and reference to temp_parent_clock.

Hence in clk_set_rate API check for the "CLK_SET_RATE_TEMP_PARENT" flag, then
latch on to alternate parent clock temporarily. Once the requested rate is set
on the clk, re-parent back to original parent clock.

I'm not sure this is a good idea to split the changes like this. Applying
this patch alone would cause a build break, wouldn't it ?

The users need to be updated in same patch, so patch 2/3 should be normally
folded into this one.

Shouldn't such data rather be on struct clk_mux level ? It's only needed
for _some_ mux clocks, while it's being added for all the clock types.

Or wouldn't just a single "u8 temp_parent_index" field do ? The order of
struct clk::parents and struct clk::parent_names is always same, isn't it ?
Then if, e.g.

parent_names[] = "clk_a", "clk_b", "clk_c";

and "clk_c" is the temporary parent clock name, the corresponding clock
pointer storage is clk->parents[2] ? It could be used instead of
clk->temp_parent, couldn't it ?

Yes this will build break if patch 1 is applied only.

Yes can be.
The mentioned approach provides sanity check, i.e when parent exists
and properly registered.

NACK.

The client of a leaf clock should not have to care about the internals 
of the clock tree. Nor should the clock framework.

At a high level, any clock that needs something like this has a mux 
component. If the clock is prepared and enabled, it should guarantee 
changing rates without gating the output. If that can't be done, then it 
needs to see the SET_RATE_GATE flag.

And if it can ensure that the clock remains clocking while it's changing 
the rate, that's an internal implementation detail of that specific 
clock/clock driver. That specific implementation should switch the HW to 
a temporary parent (doesn't need any clk->parent update), do whatever it 
needs for the new parent, then switch back to it and then return.

Thanks,
Saravana
