Please correct me if I've misunderstood something :-).

So for the PATCH 7/11 we fix the issue with recalculating clocks
when we want to disable PWM.

if (state->enabled) {
c = clk_get_rate(imx->clk_per);
c *= state->period;

do_div(c, 1000000000);
period_cycles = c;

prescale = period_cycles / 0x10000 + 1;

period_cycles /= prescale;
c = (unsigned long long)period_cycles *
state->duty_cycle;
do_div(c, state->period);
duty_cycles = c;

/*
* According to imx pwm RM, the real period value
* should be PERIOD value in PWMPR plus 2.
*/
if (period_cycles > 2)
period_cycles -= 2;
else
period_cycles = 0;

/*
* Enable the clock if the PWM is not already
* enabled.
*/
if (!cstate.enabled) {
ret = clk_prepare_enable(imx->clk_per);
if (ret)
return ret;
}

/*
* Wait for a free FIFO slot if the PWM is already
* enabled, and flush the FIFO if the PWM was disabled
* and is about to be enabled.
*/
if (cstate.enabled)
imx_pwm_wait_fifo_slot(chip, pwm);
else
imx_pwm_sw_reset(chip);

writel(duty_cycles, imx->mmio_base + MX3_PWMSAR);
writel(period_cycles, imx->mmio_base + MX3_PWMPR);

writel(MX3_PWMCR_PRESCALER(prescale) |
MX3_PWMCR_DOZEEN | MX3_PWMCR_WAITEN |
MX3_PWMCR_DBGEN | MX3_PWMCR_CLKSRC_IPG_HIGH |
MX3_PWMCR_EN,
imx->mmio_base + MX3_PWMCR);
} else {

writel(0, imx->mmio_base + MX3_PWMCR);

/* Disable the clock if the PWM is currently enabled. */
if (cstate.enabled)
clk_disable_unprepare(imx->clk_per);
}

This is the issue with FIFO setting - but for now we do not deal with
it.

So for this reason Stefan's patch [1] always enable the clock no matter
if PWM clock is generated or not.

My idea is as follows:

I will drop patch v2 (prepared by Sasha) and then squash Stefan's patch
[1] to patch 7/11. The "old" ipg enable code will be removed with other
not needed code during conversion.

In such a way we would preserve bisectibility.

What is your opinion?
