It is not possible for the clockevents core to know which modes (other than those with a corresponding feature flag) are supported by a particular implementation. And drivers are expected to handle transition to all modes elegantly, as ->set_mode() would be issued for them unconditionally. Now, adding support for a new mode complicates things a bit if we want to use the legacy ->set_mode() callback. We need to closely review all clockevents drivers to see if they would break on addition of a new mode. And after such reviews, it is found that we have to do non-trivial changes to most of the drivers [1]. Introduce mode-specific set_mode_*() callbacks, some of which the drivers may or may not implement. A missing callback would clearly convey the message that the corresponding mode isn't supported. A driver may still choose to keep supporting the legacy ->set_mode() callback, but ->set_mode() wouldn't be supporting any new modes beyond RESUME. If a driver wants to benefit from using a new mode, it would be required to migrate to the mode specific callbacks. The legacy ->set_mode() callback and the newly introduced mode-specific callbacks are mutually exclusive. Only one of them should be supported by the driver. Sanity check is done at the time of registration to distinguish between optional and required callbacks and to make error recovery and handling simpler. If the legacy ->set_mode() callback is provided, all mode specific ones would be ignored by the core but a warning is thrown if they are present. Call sites calling ->set_mode() directly are also updated to use __clockevents_set_mode() instead, as ->set_mode() may not be available anymore for few drivers.
