Merge tag 'clk-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux
Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"There's a bunch of patches here across drivers/clk/ to migrate drivers
to use struct clk_ops::determine_rate() instead of the round_rate()
one so that we can remove the round_rate clk_op entirely. Brian has
taken up that task which nobody else has wanted to do for close to a
decade. Thanks Brian!
This is all prerequisite work to get to the real task of improving the
clk rate setting process. Once we have determine_rate() used
everywhere, we'll be able to do things like chain the rate request
structs in linked lists to order the rate setting operations or add
more parameters without having to change every clk driver in
existence. It's also nice to not have multiple ways to do something
which just causes confusion for clk driver authors. Overall I'm glad
this is getting done.
Beyond this change we also have a tweak to the clk_lookup() function

kconfig: Avoid prompting for transitional symbols
The "transitional" symbol keyword, while working with the "olddefconfig"
target, was prompting during "oldconfig". This occurred because these
symbols were not being marked as user-defined when they received values
from transitional symbols that had user values. The "olddefconfig" target
explicitly doesn't prompt for anything, so this deficiency wasn't noticed.
The issue manifested when a symbol's value came from a transitional
symbol's user value but the receiving symbol wasn't marked with
SYMBOL_DEF_USER. Thus the "oldconfig" logic would then prompt for these
symbols unnecessarily.
Check after value calculation whether a symbol without a user value
gets its value from a single transitional symbol that does have a user
value. In such cases, mark the receiving symbol as user-defined to
prevent prompting.
Update regression tests to verify that symbols with transitional defaults

- Large NFS workloads will be less likely to force the eviction of
server-local activity, helping it avoid thrashing

delegation implementation (based on a pending Internet RFC) that we
hope will make attribute delegation reliable enough to enable by
