SubjectRe: [RFC v2 3/5] clk: use struct clk only for external API
Hi Tomeu, Rabin,

Please see my comments inline.

Hmm, shouldn't have Rabin signed off this patch as well?

nit: I'm not sure if name of the internal struct has been discussed
already, but clk_core sounds a bit off to me. Maybe it's just me but it
looks like a big common structure of the whole clock core not some small
per-clock structure.

As for suggestions of alternative names that come to my mind:
clk_object, clk_data, clk_entity.

Hmm. I have bad feelings about this making some typedef lovers overuse
this macro to save few characters by not typing "struct" in code that
doesn't have to use this macro. But clearly I can't think of any better
solution right now, so don't consider this a showstopper.

Otherwise looks good to me.

Best regards,
Tomasz
