It's common requirement for bsp debug/test to change clk rate from userspace.

Currently, we must define CLKOCK_ALLOW_WRITE_DEBUGFS then re-compile kernel
to allow this feature. Let's replace it with a "write_enable" file to
allow enable it at runtime.

Nak. This design is intentional.

Thanks for your reply. Got it. But sometimes re-compile is somewhat low efficient. Is it acceptable to provide 
a write_enable to clk_core(not enable by default), and allow clk driver to enable it inside clk_ops->init
via clk_hw->core->write_enable = 1?

Regards,
Li
