Linus Torvalds 4ee64205ff We've finally gotten rid of the struct clk_ops::round_rate() code after months
of effort from Brian Masney. Now the only option is to use determine_rate(),
 which is good because that takes a struct argument instead of just a couple
 unsigned longs, allowing us to easily modify the way we determine and set rates
 in the clk tree.
 
 Beyond that core framework change we've got the typical pile of new SoC clk
 driver additions, fixes for clk data and/or adding missing clks because the
 consumer driver using those clks wasn't ready, etc. The usual suspects are all
 here: Qualcomm, Samsung, Mediatek, and Rockchip along with some newcomers
 making RISC-V SoCs like ESWIN's eic700 and Tenstorrent's Atlantis. The clk
 driver side of this looks pretty normal.
 
 Core:
  - Remove the round_rate() clk op (yay!)
 
 New Drivers:
  - ESWIN eic700 SoC clk support
  - Econet EN751221 SoC clock/reset support
  - Global TCSR, RPMh, and display clock controller support for
    the Qualcomm Eliza platform
  - TCSR, the multiple global, and the RPMh clock controller
    support for the Qualcomm Nord platform
  - GPU clock controller support for Qualcomm SM8750
  - Video and GPU clock controller support for Qualcomm Glymur
  - Global clock controller support for Qualcomm IPQ5210
  - Axis ARTPEC-9: Add new PLL clocks and new drivers for eight clock
    controllers on the SoC
  - ExynosAutov920: Add G3D (GPU) clock controller
  - Clock driver for the Rockchip RV1103B SoC
  - Initial support for the Renesas RZ/G3L (R9A08G046) SoC
  - Clock and reset controllers (e.g. PRCM) in the Tenstorrent Atlantis SoC
