This converts all of arch/arm/mach-davinci to the common clock framework.
The clock drivers from clock.c and psc.c have been moved to drivers/clk,
so these files are removed.

There is one subtle change in the clock trees. AUX, BPDIV and OSCDIV
clocks now have "ref_clk" as a parent instead of the PLL clock. These
clocks are part of the PLL's MMIO block, but they bypass the PLL and
therefore it makes more sense to have "ref_clk" as their parent since
"ref_clk" is the input clock of the PLL.

CONFIG_DAVINCI_RESET_CLOCKS is removed since the common clock frameworks
takes care of disabling unused clocks.

Known issue: This breaks CPU frequency scaling on da850.


This functionality needs to be restored as part of this series since we
cannot commit anything with regressions.


Do you have a suggestion on how to accomplish this? I don't have a board for
testing, so I don't have a way of knowing if my changes will work or not.

I work for Logic PD who makes the original da850-evm. I can help if
you want to send me patches. It would be better if you had a git repo
setup where I could just clone the repo and tests.

Having a larger collection of smaller the patches would also give me
the ability to bisect down to help determine what actually breaks the
da850-evm vs a few large patches.

Do you still need me to run the board with some of the extra debugging
enabled, or should I wait for the next round of patches?


You might as well wait until I resubmit. There are going to be some significant
changes.
