And if I chased down devm_clk_get() correctly, there must be a named clock in the DT, otherwise it would fail? I haven't tested this, though, but I guess this is the reason for Bastian's patch. Regarding "one bus clock only": while this is true, I think there is (or was?) also the rationale of using names being more future-proof, so adding clocks (for future hardware revisions) can be done more easily, without breaking compatibility. It's not a big problem, since you probably have a new compatible string in this case anyway, but it also doesn't hurt, and allows to use more generic helpers like devm_clk_get(). > If it gets accepted now, I really like to know why.
