[PATCH RFC] User space clock driver

[Soren Brinkmann]

Hi,

is there any interest in exposing clock controls to userspace?
On Zynq we need/want this for a couple of clocks which are forwarded to
the FPGA part of the chip, in case no real device driver is taking care
of the clocks.
Additionally I can see this help debugging here and there. E.g. it can
be used to trigger rate change notifications. Hence I started this as a
generic driver instead of limiting it to my primary Zynq use-case.

The current state allows me to control the FPGA clocks on Zynq (other
clocks should work as well), so the functionality is basically there,
but I appreciate all feedback on the implementation. I suspect there
are better/other ways to do this.

	Thanks,
	SÃren
