Yes.

Currently, drivers/clk/qcom/clk-cbf-8996.c is the only user of
icc-clk. And, it had exactly one master and one slave node.
For this the auto generated master (= 1) and slave (= 0) was
enough.

However, when drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-ipq9574.c wanted to make use
of the icc-clk framework, it had more number of master and slave
nodes and the auto generated ids did not suit the usage.

Hence wanted to move away from the auto generated method. And
instead use the ids specified by the caller.

Will change the commit log and post a new version.

Earlier it was separate. Was squashed into this based on
community feedback. Please refer to https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/CAA8EJpqaXU=H6Nhz2_WTYHS1A0bi1QrMdp7Y+s6HUELioCzbeg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Will update the commit log and post a new version.

Thanks for the inputs.
