If you want to get that pedantic... I created clkdev, and Sascha Hauer
extended it with some refactoring to create the clk_get_sys() interface.

If you look at the history, the sh version is a copy of the ARM version:

commit 51a5006afcd13176276f0935ee57c4cc6f210e83
Author: Paul Mundt <lethal at linux-sh.org>
Date:   Mon Mar 8 21:45:19 2010 +0900

    sh: Merge clkdev API updates.

    This rolls in the remainder of the clkdev API bits from the ARM tree.
    This can more or less be used verbatim, so we just copy it over and nuke
    our local version.

and

commit 441c2440aba2efd8d0f48a5e3357deec92283d62
Author: Magnus Damm <damm at opensource.se>

    sh: remove unused clock lookup

    Now when all clocks are registered using clkdev,
    get rid of the special SH-specific clock lookup.

    Also ditch the unused module ref counting code.
    This patch syncs the SH behaviour with ARM.

so really it's a question for primerily me, and maybe Sascha.
