Ideally, each SoC(if not yet, maybe in future) can have different number/names of possible source clocks for signal generation. Let us not depend upon even defaults(fclk, pclk etc) Let each platform code(SoC specific) define names of all possible source clocks and let the board init code pass on the potential source clocks by some bit-mask(or some other mechanism) while setting the platform data. The samsung.c could then simply go thru the array of source clock names and the bit-mask, in platform_data, while selecting the best possible source for the baud rate under consideration. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
