Hi Gabriel,

I don't have much clout with the maintainers, but I have to NAK this 
series after finding major breakage.

The problem with series is that it breaks pretty much every board it 
touches. I have a DK2 here that I'm using for development, which no 
longer boots with this series applied.

The crux of the matter is that this series assumes all boards will boot 
with an FSBL that implements a very specific SCMI clock tree. This is 
major ABI breakage for anyone not using TF-A as the first stage 
bootloader. Anyone using u-boot SPL is screwed.

This series imposes a SOC-wide change via the dtsi files. So even boards 
that you don't intend to convert to SCMI will get broken this way. 
Adding a -no-scmi file that isn't used anywhere doesn't help things.

Here's what I suggest:

Generate new dtb files for those boards that you want to convert. So you 
would get:
   - stm32mp157c-dk2.dtb # Good old hardware clocks
   - stm32mp157c-dk2-secure-rcc.dtb # Clocks accessible by scmi.

A lot of users use a larger build system where they extract the relevant 
files. With the scheme I'm proposing you don't break their builds, and 
you allow SCMI users to have upstream support.

This means that you'll have to rethink the DTS and DTSI changes to 
accomodate both use cases.

Thanks,
Alex
