This clock is present on cheaper Northstar devices like BCM53573 or
BCM47189 using Corex-A7. This driver uses PMU (Power Management Unit)
to calculate clock rate and allows using it in a generic (clk_*) way.


I thought Northstar uses Cortex A9 instead of A7?

[ 0.000000] CPU: ARMv7 Processor [410fc075] revision 5 (ARMv7), cr=10c5387d
[ 0.000000] CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing
instruction cache

Yeah ARMv7 instruction set but the core is Cortex A7. Both Cortex A7 and A9 use ARMv7 instructions.

Thanks,
