Is it something similar to what I implemented for Exynos4 in patch 2/4?
The same has to be done for other Exynos SoCs as well, but i don't have
any board on which I could test this, so I just added a subset of
available inputs of PMU mux in current implementation.

Anyway, anything in CMU can be handled in normal SoC clock driver, so I
don't think this poses any problem for this series.

Best regards,
Tomasz
