    dt-bindings: clk: Introduce 'protected-clocks' property · 48d7f160
    Stephen Boyd authored
    Add a generic clk property for clks which are not intended to be used by
    the OS due to security restrictions put in place by firmware. For
    example, on some Qualcomm firmwares reading or writing certain clk
    registers causes the entire system to reboot, but on other firmwares
    reading and writing those same registers is required to make devices
    like QSPI work. Rather than adding one-off properties each time a new
    set of clks appears to be protected, let's add a generic clk property to
    describe any set of clks that shouldn't be touched by the OS. This way
    we never need to register the clks or use them in certain firmware
    configurations.
