  rtc: rtc-mv: Add support for clk to avoid lockups

----------------------------------------------------------------
mvebu fixes for v3.8-rc6 (round 2)
    
    This series of four patches started with Simon Baatz reporting lost MAC
    addresses when compiling mv643xx_eth as a module.  Accompanying that, he was
    getting hard lockups on boot when most other drivers were compiled as modules.
    
    All of this boiled down to gated clocks.  mv643xx_eth looses it's mac address
    after it's clock gets gated.  The patch included in this series prevents the
    ge0 and ge1 clocks from being gated when doing legacy platform init of the
    driver.
    
    There is another patch to accompany the DT conversion of the driver which will
    allow reading the mac address from the devicetree.  This patch is not included
    here because the bindings are being added for v3.9.
    
    The hard lockups at boot were the result of many SoC IPs using the runit gate
    clock.  Several drivers (gpio, rtc) were not claiming the clock, and of_serial
    wouldn't claim the clock if clock-frequency was specified in the DT.
    
    clock-frequency was only necessary before we added proper clock support, it is
    now removed from all kirkwood dts files.
    
    Last, proper clock support is added to gpio-mvebu and rtc-mv.
    
    With these four fixes all drivers that can be compiled as modules can be
    without breaking bootup.

In light of Russell's recent comment (re i.MX fixes) on Linus' standard
for -rc7, I'd like to clarify the above.

While only one user reported the above problems (Simon Baatz), it was
caused by compiling v3.8-rc5 with the debian kernel config.  This config
builds almost everything it can as a module.

I'd like to do a v2 of this pull request since it was pointed out to me
this morning that I missed a clock-frequency in
kirkwood-ns2-common.dtsi.

Does the above meet the metric Linus has set for -rc7?  I think so, but
I leave that up to you guys.

If so, I'll redo these four patches to explicitly say they fix boot
problems caused when using debians default kernel config.

thx,

Jason.

Is debian planning on shipping 3.8 on these platforms, or is it just one user
that tried to build it for his own use?

It depends on the above question. If Debian needs this for their actual,
real, userbase (assuming they have one on kirkwood), then it's warranted
to go in.

But the fixes need to be rebased on -rc6 because I am not going to send
in some of the previous ones I had already queued but not sent in yet.

I believe there is quite an active community around kirkwood running Debian,
since the combination is used on a lot of home NAS systems.

Yeah, but the real question is how many of them are building their own mainline
kernels (with this specific config), and how many are just using whatever the
distro of their choice is providing.

To the best of my knowledge, it's the latter.  So I will hold off on
these for after v3.8 drops and CC stable.

I'd like to think more people doing embedded debian are rolling their
own kernels, but I don't think that is the case, unfortunately.

I'll rebase against v3.8 or newer when I resend.
