Note: this is just an example and not a proper driver for a external

controller. Its only purpose is to illustrate how such a driver would
set the
frequency of the external memory clock based on the bandwidth
requirements of
memory clients.

I don't think this is a hack, except for the bug: That should only
happen on Tegra124 not on all Tegra SoCs.

Do you intend all 3 patches in this series to be merged? You'd mentioned
you didn't when asked about this for a previous version. I'm not sure if
that's changed?

Yeah, I don't want 3/3 merged because we don't have a functional EMC
clock yet on T124, and because I don't know yet where will be the best
place to have that code in. That depends on Mikko's work on the real EMC
driver which is in a bit of flux right now.

I have kept posting it just because I think it complements nicely the
explanation in the cover letter, but maybe confuses more than helps.

OK. If you make this one a [PATCH RFC], or add a note to that effect to the commit description (perhaps underneath the --- line), that'd be helpful for future postings.
