Re: [PATCH] sh: clock framework update, fix count and kill off kref

[Francesco VIRLINZI <francesco.virlinzi@st.com>]

Hi Paul
Few days ago I had a discussion with Magnus on the current status of the 
clock framework
and both we agree to change how the .init call back should work.

The design I have in mind is:
 - the .init callback should be called during the clk_registration and
   if the init fails the clock framework rejects the clock.
 - Any operations with (CLK_NEEDS_INIT)  has to be managed internally to
   the clock-SOC implementation via archflag (or a void* private_data) 
to hive any
   implementation issue at clock framework level.

Magnus, Do you want add anything?
Paul, Do you have some issue on this design?

Regards
 Francesco
