clkops that are shared between multiple platforms, such as clkops_null,
are indeed non-static. However, many of the clkops are only used by one
OMAP variant, so it seemed pointless to make them non-static. No point in
polluting the symbol table unnecessarily. Is there some reason that all
of them should be non-static?
