I really don't like this.  IDs are platform device specific, and this is
a platform devince independent layer.

If you want to do this, then add a platform_device_clk_get() call, which
takes the platform device and connection id.  Uses the platform device
infrastructure to format the device name, and use clk_get_sys() to look
up the device/connection id from that.

Not only will that be more simple, but it'll also avoid putting bus-
specific code into bus-agnostic layers.
