[RFC PATCH v1 0/3] clk: implement remuxing during set_rate

[James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com>]

This patchset adds support for automatic selection of the best parent
for a clock mux, i.e. the one which can provide the closest clock rate
to that requested. It can be controlled by a new CLK_SET_RATE_REMUX flag
so that it doesn't happen unless explicitly allowed.

This works by way of adding a parameter to the round_rate clock op which
allows the clock driver to optionally select a different parent index.
This is used in clk_calc_new_rates to decide whether to initiate a
set_parent operation. This would obviously require the argument to be
added to all users of round_rate, something this patchset doesn't do as
I'm not sure if it's really the preferred method (hence the RFC).

An alternative would be to add a new callback, but that would complicate
the code in clk.c somewhat. I suppose it would also be possible for the
round_rate callback to call a function to set a struct clk member to
mark that the parent should change (it's all within mutex protected
code after all). Comments anyone?
