This series contains some changes needed for the conversion of arch/arm/mach-
davinci to the common clock framework.

Most of the boards in mach-davinci do not have device tree support. However,
CFGCHIP, which is a syscon regmap, is needed during clock init in early boot.
Using a platform device for the syscon at this point is not an option. So,
this series introduces a new way to register a syscon regmap on non-DT systems.

The DA8XX USB PHY driver is a consumer of the CFGCHIP syscon regmap, so some
changes are needed in that driver as well since we are removing the syscon
platform devices. The patch "phy: da8xx-usb: rename clock con_ids" doesn't
have anything to do with syscon, but I included in this series because we are
touching PHY code here anyway and it is also a dependency for the upcoming
common clock framework conversion changes.

Maintainers, please coordinate with Sekhar before committing. We will probably
want everything to go through the linux-davinci tree if possible.

You should wait for some more feedback before resending anything, but I
think it will be easier to reivew/accept this if the changes are just
related to removal of "syscon" platform device from devices-da8xx.c.

It _seems_ like this series does more than just that, and I hope it can
be pared down.


This series has been split out into "ARM: da8xx: use platform data for CFGCHIP
syscon regmap" [1] and "phy: da8xx-usb: rename clock con_ids" [2].
