In this context (caller: s3c_setrate_clksrc, s3c_setparent_clksrc /
callee: s3c_wait_for_stable), it cannot be NULL as long as the callers
are these two. If it's NULL, it means that the function,
s3c_wait_for_stable, is called by someone who's not supposed to call.
In these two callers, &sclk->reg_xxx_stable cannot be NULL as long as
clk is not NULL and if clk is NULL, the thread cannot successfully
reach there.

When stat != NULL, stat->reg may still be NULL intentionally as
mentioned in this paragraph because stat is not going to be NULL if
the owning clksrc_clk is present. Note that stat is a non-pointer
member of clksrc_clk.

Yes, if the definition of stable value does not change, "stable" is
not needed and only shift and reg values are required.
