I hope I have described the BG4CT HW clk/pll clearly, I really need your advice
about my proposal. The clk nodes in my proposal will finally look like:


cpupll: cpupll {
compatible = "marvell,berlin-pll";
reg = <0x922000 0x14>
#clock-cells = <0>;
clocks = <&osc>;
};

mempll: mempll {
compatible = "marvell,berlin-pll";
reg = <0x940034 0x14>
#clock-cells = <0>;
clocks = <&osc>;
};

syspll: syspll {
compatible = "marvell,berlin-pll";
reg = <0xea0200 0x14>
#clock-cells = <0>;
clocks = <&osc>;
};

pllclk: pllclk {
compatible = "marvell,berlin4ct-pllclk";
reg = <0xea0710 4>
#clock-cells = <1>;
};

gateclk: gateclk {
compatible = "marvell,berlin4ct-gateclk";
reg = <0xea0700 4>;
#clock-cells = <1>;
};

clk: clk {
compatible = "marvell,berlin4ct-clk";
reg = <0xea0720 0x144>;
#clock-cells = <1>;
clocks = <&pllclk SYSPLLCLK>;
};

Using the ccf clk-mux, there's no overlapping/repeating reg ranges any more.

If you want more BG4CT clk/pll details, please let me know.

Thanks,
