+ * venus_clks_get() - Get Venus clocks that are not bound to a vcodec
+ * @core: A pointer to the venus core resource
+ *
+ * The Venus block (depending on the generation) can be split into a couple
+ * of clock domains: one for "main logic" and one for each video core (0-2pcs).
+ *
+ * MSM8916 (and possibly other HFIv1 users) only feature the "main logic"
+ * domain, so this function is the only kind if clk_get necessary there.
+ *
+ * MSM8996 (and other HFIv3 users) feature two video cores, with core0 being
+ * statically proclaimed a decoder and core1 an encoder, with both having
+ * their own clock domains.
+ *
+ * SDM845 features two video cores, each one of which may or may not be
+ * subdivided into 2 enc/dec threads.
+ *
+ * Other SoCs either feature a single video core (with its own clock domain)
+ * or 1 video core and 1 CVP (Computer Vision Processor) core. In both cases
+ * we treat it the same (CVP only happens to live near-by Venus on the SoC).
+ *
+ * Due to unfortunate developments in the past, we have to support bindings
+ * (MSM8996, SDM660, SDM845) that require specifying the clocks and
+ * power-domains associated with a video core domain in a bogus subnode,
+ * which means that additional fluff is necessary..
+ *
+ * Return: 0 on success, negative errno on failure.

To make it easier to understand the various clock requirements within this driver, add kerneldoc to venus_clk_get() explaining the fluff.
