Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. The number of clocks in our chips appears 
to be rapidly multiplying so that seems like a very good idea.

I guess for PC3X2 where we don't have any gateable or controllable 
clocks that means I can create one virtual clock then add a number of 
aliases where drivers require a struct clk.

Thanks,
