Nitpick: for the DSP it was a/b, here it is 0/1
Could you pick one way or the other and stick to it ?

ok , I will use 0/1 for DSP.
I think I prefer a/b if you don't mind. see below for why ...


Mali is named as mali_0, mali_1 in this driver.   And G12A/S4/GXBB series do the same.

If they are named as anakin_a and anakin_b here, there will be two naming methods.

Shall we keep consistent ?


If use 0/1 to name them.

dsp clocks are:

    dspa_0_sel

    dspa_0_div

    dspa_0

    dspa_1_sel

    dspa_1_div

    dspa_1

    dspb_0_sel

    dspb_0_div

    dspb_0

    dspb_1_sel

    dspb_1_div

    dspb_1


anakin clocks are:

    anakin_0_sel

    anakin_0_div

    anakin_0

    anakin_1_sel

    anakin_1_div

    anakin_1

    anakin_01_sel

    anakin


If use a/b to name them.

dsp clocks are:

    dspa_a_sel

    dspa_a_div

    dspa_a

    dspa_b_sel

    dspa_b_div

    dspa_b

    dspb_a_sel

    dspb_a_div

    dspb_a

    dspb_b_sel

    dspb_b_div

    dspb_b


anakin clocks are:

    anakin_a_sel

    anakin_a_div

    anakin_a

    anakin_b_sel

    anakin_b_div

    anakin_b

    anakin_ab_sel

    anakin


Which one is better?

Again, not a great name, especially considering the one above.
Is this really really how the doc refers to these 2 clocks ?

bit30 gate clock is after bit31 mux clock, and the gate clock is the final
output clock, it is used to gate anakin clock.

I will rename bit31 as anakin_pre, rename bit30 as anakin.
Ok for the last element

... but I don't like "_pre" for a mux selecting one the 2 glitch free
path. It does not help understanding the tree.

For such mux, when it is not the last element, I would suggest
"_ab_sel" ... at least it is clear what it does so, "anakin_ab_sel" ?


ok, anakin_ab_sel and anakin for these two clocks.


Maybe anakin_01_sel and anakin for these two clocks, if you agree to 0/1 naming convention.
