The “mcu_pm_bclk_ck_cg” clock is used by co-processors and should not be
added to the kernel driver, otherwise the CPU just halt and the board is
rebooted by the wathdog.

Instead, add the "aes_top0_bclk_ck_cg" missing clock to prevent
re-shuffling index and then preserve the ABI.

How does this preserve the ABI exactly? Please describe exactly what you
mean by that.
Also, what about any other users of these definitions, outside of Linux?

Cheers,
Conor

It's still a breakage. Besides, have you tried to add it as CLK_IS_CRITICAL? :-)

I mean that reduce the impact of the change compared to the v1 where 
I've changed the index of the following defines to be clean.

The clock driver and bindings are only a couple of kernel versions old, 
I'm pretty sure no one is using it. Also, if someone use 
CLK_IFR_MCU_PM_BK define, I'm wondering how his CPU is working since 
Mediatek told me that shouldn't be used, and after some try, I confirm.

I've a question: If something is wrong in the binding, you don't fix it 
to avoid ABI change ?

TBH, I just try to clean the binding. I can fix the driver index issue 
(patch 2/2) without fixing the binding if you prefer. But IMHO, keep an 
unusable define isn't great...

As I said to Conor, I can fix the driver index issue (patch 2/2) without 
fixing the binding (using CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED but CLK_IS_CRITICAL works too).

Oh, you can't do that at all as you probably discovered!

Pretty sure, or sure?

Maybe that person is actually using the index to make sure that the
clock at that index is left untouched.

I don't quite get what you mean by "wrong". These header files just
define a set of arbitrary meanings, since the clock numbers are really
just something that developers came up with rather than being lifted
from a TRM. They don't prescribe behaviour for each of these clocks, or
that these clocks should actually be used - just a simple "this number
means this clock".
It sounds more like a driver or devicetree is _using_ the number
incorrectly, but that does not make the binding wrong :)

I, at least, would prefer that.

Thanks,
Conor.
