[PATCH 0/2] clk: rockchip: cleanup errors in (module-)driver handling

[Heiko Stuebner]

Recent conversions or inclusions of rk3399 and rk3568 as platform-drivers
and subsequently allowing them to be built as modules introduced some
problems.

These two patches try to correct them.

[PATCH 1/2] Revert "clk: rockchip: use module_platform_driver_probe"

[Heiko Stuebner]

This reverts commit 1da80da028fe5accb866c0d6899a292ed86bef45.

Reading recent discussions [0] [1], I realized this change introduces
a number of problems:

- only converting to module_platform_driver creates the issue
  with the existing __init and __initdata attributes.

  When the driver would've been built as a module, all the missing
  clock-definitions (all are initdata) should've turned up as error
  in testing suggesting that the change wasn't at all

- a clock driver is a very core component of soc bringup and making
  this able to be built as a module solely for enabling the soc vendor
  to add out of tree changes for Android implementations is not in our
  interest and also everything except a ramdisk won't probe without a
  clock controller.

  This is especially true when the changes aren't really tested and
  are merely added to move the mainline driver "out of the way".

[PATCH 2/2] clk: rockchip: drop module parts from rk3399 and rk3568 drivers

[Heiko Stuebner]

Both of these drivers were converted to real drivers and got a tristate
build option. But them being builtin_platform_drivers, they only ever
should be build-in - as the name suggests.

So adapt the Kconfig symbol and drop the MODULE_* parts from the drivers.

It looked like the easiest way to go for now.

With all the clock-definitions as init-data still in both drivers, I don't think
anybody ever tested running this as a real module.

We could of course also remove all the __init + __initdata attributes, but
still wouldn't know if it actually runs as a module, without someone
building a real test environment for it.

Sure. Do I need to pick these up directly?
