While I agree using registration functions rather than static
initialization will help make "struct clk" an opaque cookie, I also
see some benefit with using static initialization over registration
functions. That is we will be able to initialize parents statically
rather than calling expensive __clk_lookup() to find them when using
registration functions.

I'm not sure if this will be a concern with the platforms that have
hundreds of clocks. Keep it in mind, when we say one clock, there
are generally 3 clks behind it, clk_gate, clk_divider and clk_mux.
