It take clk_function and returns pointer to the contained struct clk.
It's unused in the submitted code, but it's used in the yet-in-progress
drivers for Toshiba companion chips. I used it to be able to write
things like:

static struct clk *clks[] = {
[TC6387XB_CLK_MMC] = FUNC_TO_CLK(MFD_CLK_FUNC(NULL, "MMCCLK",
&tc6387xb_cells[TC6387XB_CELL_MMC])),
};

where MFD_CLK_FUNC instantiates some special sort of clk_function.

OK.

They were posted to the LKML with CC to arch maintainers primary to get
their feedback. I have a hope that it can be used not only for various
arms, but for other arches. As you can see posting it here helped to make
the whole patchset better and less memory hungry.

As currently the patchset only contains the generic and ARM-related
things, I think it can and should go in via Russell, if he agrees.

Russell?
