Hi,

RFC, please, do not apply, maybe except patch #1 which is harmless.

Introduction

The patchset brings new entity: clock controller representing a hardware block. The clock controller comes with its own prepare lock which is used then in many places. The idea is to fix the deadlock mentioned in commit 10ff4c5239a1 ("i2c: exynos5: Fix possible ABBA deadlock by keeping I2C clock prepared") and commit 34e81ad5f0b6 ("i2c: s3c2410: fix ABBA deadlock by keeping clock prepared").

I'm not familiar enough with the common clock framework to do a proper review of this patch-set, but I've tested both on an Exynos5800 Peach Pi Chromebook and an Exynos5422 Odroid XU4 board and I didn't find any clock regressions.

Also, I confirmed that the possible deadlock in the Odroid XU4 that was fixed by reverted commit 10ff4c5239a1 doesn't happen anymore with your patches.
