Hi Mark, Greg,

Pleas see my answer below.

Some arch can implement its own clock APIs, for example AR7 [1].

The sprd serial driver is used on ARM and ARM64 platforms only for
now, which uses clock functions provided by COMMON_CLK, but it has the
possibility of being used on other architecture platforms, that was my
thought.

I should revise this commit message to:
"
Because some mips Kconfig-s select CONFIG_HAVE_CLK but not define
clk_set_parent which is used by the sprd serial driver.
...
"

Does it make sense?

Thanks,
Chunyan
