Is there a reason to check for these cases?

Hmm, I don't follow this - and it doesn't seem to sit with the clk API
model at all well.  cpufreq/ahbfreq/apbfreq seem to only ever be
written, but never read.  I'm not sure either why every struct clk has
to have these - they seem to be separate clocks unrelated to the
struct clk that's being dealt with.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have these three as separate struct clks?

The other issue is that we're introducing an "apb_pclk" for all
primecells using drivers/amba/bus.c in order to support SoCs which gate
the APB pclk signal to individual primecells.  It sounds like this clock
would be the natural owner what you call 'apbfreq' in your patch.
