There is no way to set additional flags for a DT-initialized fixed-
factor-clock, and it can be problematic i.e., when the clock rate
needs to be changed. [1][2]
This patch introduces an optional dt-binding named "clock-flags" to
be used for passing any needed flags from dts.

I don't think we want this in DT. If we did, the flags would need some
documentation about what the flags mean.

Flags are specific to Linux implementation, so I agree with Rob. Better
to create a compatible string for your hardware that bakes in the flags.

Thanks for your comment. It looks not that big deal to provide a little documentation..? Some of the flags looks safe to be removed. Thinking of only fixed-factor-clock, most of them can be removed.

Thank you for your comment, Mike. This conversation starts from lacking method to set CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT from DT. I understand compatible string can be a solution. But.. if someone starts talking about lacking method to set another flag, i.e., CLK_SET_PARENT_GATE, then we'll need another compatible string list.
How do you think about defining possible required subset of the flags and using some more neutral flag-names acceptable in DT?

Do you actually have an IC on the board that is doing some fixed
factor calculation? Or is this a clk driver design where we are
listing out each piece of an SoC's clk controller in DT?

>> Thank you for your comment, Mike. This conversation starts from lacking method to set CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT from DT. I understand compatible string can be a solution. But.. if someone starts talking about lacking method to set another flag, i.e., CLK_SET_PARENT_GATE, then we'll need another compatible string list.

The SoC has several PLLs of identical design, and one of them is divided
to half and used for CPUs. The fixed-factor-clock represents the divider.

Ok, so it sounds like we can have the driver that registers the
CPU PLL also register the fixed factor clk? I fail to see why we
need this from DT in that case.
