[PATCH 1/2] User access to internal clocks

From: Davide Rizzo

This driver is for user level programs to interact with system clocks.
It allows to read and modify rates and parents, using virtual files.
It requires the implementation of 2 additional functions in the clk interface:
clk_for_each() and clk_name().
Actually I implemented that functions only for Samsung S3C24xx platform.

+What: /sys/class/clock
+Date: January 2009
+Contact: Davide Rizzo <elpa.rizzo@xxxxxxxxx>
+Description:
+ The /sys/class/clock directory will consist of a group of
+ subdirectories each one describing an internal clock
in the kernel.
+ The name of the subdirectory is the clock's name.
+ If a clock is device specific, its name is in the form
"name.id".
+ In each directory there are 2 virtual files: rate and parent.
+ Both these files are r/w, but there can be some
architecture-dependent
+ limitations on write access on one or both of them.
+ For this interface to work, it needs some low-level
implementations (look
+ at include/linux/clk.h):
+ - clk_for_each()
+ - clk_name()
+ - clk_get() should recognize also the "name.id" format
+ Actually I implemented these only for Samsung S3C SoC in
+ arch/arm/plat-s3c/clock.c
