[PATCH v11 0/6] clk: Support spread spectrum and use it in clk-scmi

Changes in v11:
- Address "driver fails to link when compiled as a module" reported by sashiko-bot

Since the assigned-clock-sscs property [1] has been accepted into the device
tree schema, we can now support it in the Linux clock driver. Therefore,
I've picked up the previously submitted work [2] titled "clk: Support
spread spectrum and use it in clk-pll144x and clk-scmi."
As more than six months have passed since [2] was posted, I’m treating this
patchset as a new submission rather than a v3.

- Introduce clk_set_spread_spectrum to set the parameters for enabling
  spread spectrum of a clock.
- Parse 'assigned-clock-sscs' and configure it by default before using the
  clock. This property is parsed before parsing clock rate.
- Enable this feature for clk-scmi on i.MX95.

Because SCMI spec will not include spread spectrum as a standard
extension, we still need to use NXP i.MX OEM extension.

Changes in v11:
- Address "driver fails to link when compiled as a module" reported by sashiko-bot

Changes in v10:
- For patch 4: per Stephen's comments, write a new testsuite, not modifying rate
  tests. Updated commit log, and dropped the R-b tag.
- Rebased to next-20260609
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/[email protected]/

Changes in v9:
- Rebased to next-20260311
- Fix kunit test by setting return value to 0 when there is no
  assigned-clocks in patch 3
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v8:
- Add R-b from Cristian for patch 5 and patch 6
- Add comment for scmi_clk_oem_info in patch 6
- Rebased to next-20260227
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v7:
- Add R-b from Sebin
- Drop __free usage per comment from Krzysztof in patch 3
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/[email protected]/

Changes in v6:
- Add kunit build warning
- Update OEM string comparation per Sebin
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/[email protected]/

Changes in v5:
- Per Stephen, export clk_hw_set_spread_spectrum, use enum for method,
  add const for set_spread_spectrum and rename clk_ss/conf to ss_conf.
- Per Sebin, Cristian, Sudeep, I added clk-scmi-oem.c to support vendor

Changes in v4:
- Add R-b for patch 1 from Brian
- Drop unecessary change in patch 4 Per Brian
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v3:
- New patch 1 for dt-bindings per comment from Brian
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/aLeEFzXkPog_dt2B@x1/
  This might not be good to add a new dt-binding file in v3. But this is
  quite a simple file that just has four macros to encode modulation
  method. So hope this is fine for DT maintainers.
- Add Brain's R-b for patch 2
- New patch 3 to add Kunit test per Brain. Since Brain helped
  draft part of the code, I added Co-developed-by tag from Brain.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- Simplify the code in patch 2 per Dan Carpenter and Brian Masney
- Rebased to next-20250829
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
