Hi peppe,

Appreciate for the explanation. Just to clarify that I am not asking not to 
pass in the priv->stmmac_clk.
In fact, the fix will fail at case 2 if driver cannot obtain the 
priv->stmmac_clk, but just not the case 1.
For case 1, seem like it does not require the stmmac_clk then I think it should 
be OK not to fail it when
driver did not get stmmac_clk but have the clk_csr set.

Anyway, I can change the fix by adding the clock registration APIs being call 
at the stmmac_pci.c probe there before
calling stmmac_dvr_probe. By doing this, it created a dependency to the pci 
driver that must have CONFIG_HAVE_CLK
to be turned on. Besides, I would need you guys to provide me information on 
other platforms about what is the best 
value to set? Can I just set to zero since the stmmac_pci driver is always 
using the priv->plat->clk_csr?


Regards,
Wilson
