This is a rework of patches 3-5 of [1]. It attempts to correctly program
REFCLKPER and REFCLK_FLADJ based on the reference clock frequency. Since
we no longer need a special property duplicating this configuration,
snps,ref-clock-period-ns is deprecated.

Please test this! Patches 3/4 in this series have the effect of
programming REFCLKPER and REFCLK_FLADJ on boards which already configure
the "ref" clock. I have build tested, but not much else.

Thinh, you suggested the dedicated DT property for the reference clock:

Can you comment on this series?


Unless there's a good way to pass this information for PCI devices, my
opinion hasn't changed. (Btw, I don't think creating a dummy clock
provider and its dummy ops is a good solution as seems to complicate and
bloat the PCI glue drivers).

Can you explain your situation a bit more? I'm not sure how you can
access a device tree property but not add a fixed-rate clock.
