And we now decide how to get base clk in a certain variant driver which menas we know that this variant would never implement register[15:8], so it looks fine for your patch with only a nit that we should make sure we toggle up the COMMON_CLK. I saw your v2.1 to deal with it, so I think it's okay now to add Reviewed-by: Shawn Lin > > AKA: > > A) If you have a SoC where clk_get_rate() is right and software needs > to set baseclkfreq manualy, then you should include "baseclkfreq" in > your sdhci_arasan_soc_ctl_map table.
