.sysfs support. Visualize your clk tree at /sys/clk! Where would be a better place to put the clk tree besides the root of /sys/?
Um, in the "proper" place for it under /sys/devices like the rest of the device tree is?
I'd suggest that making the clock tree visible in sysfs (and therefore part of the kernel ABI) is not a good idea. Some of the nodes in there will be specific to the implementation. Exposing the clock nodes means that if you have to change the clock tree structure, you change the visible userspace ABI.
So, I'd suggest that we need to see a justification for this, rather than exposing this stuff via debugfs as has been done with existing implementations.
