[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: clock: Add nvmem-clock

[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: clock: Add nvmem-clock

[Mike Looijmans]

Add bindings for a fixed-rate clock that retrieves its rate from an
NVMEM provider. This allows to store clock settings in EEPROM or EFUSE
or similar device.

Component shortages lead to boards being shipped with different clock
crystals, based on what was available at the time. The clock frequency
was written to EEPROM at production time. Systems can adapt to a wide
range of input frequencies using the clock framework, but this required
us to patch the devicetree at runtime or use some custom driver. This
provides a more generic solution.

Note this patch causes dt_binding_check errors that I need some help
with. It claims "clock-frequency" is a required property, though I don't
want it to be, and it also doesn't like the nvmem entries, claiming they
should match "pinctrl-[0-9]+". Cannot make sense of the error messages...

Adds a fixed-rate clock that retrieves its rate from an NVMEM provider.

Component shortages lead to boards being shipped with different clock
crystals, based on what was available at the time. The clock frequency
was written to EEPROM at production time. Systems can adapt to a wide

us to patch the devicetree at runtime or use some custom driver. This
provides a more generic solution.

After hours of frustration I finally discovered that I accedentally 
typed "fixed-clock" instead of "nvmem-clock" in the compatible string...
