[PATCH 01/10] Add a common struct clk

Sorry for this late comment, maybe already adressed:

Here the spinlock is held requiring the clock implementation to
be non-sleeping, something that has been discussed at no end,
without addressing that eternal debate, please just drop the
spinlock during the ->enable() call, what is it protecting during
that time anyway...

Same here.

Apart from that I need to add that I really like the spirit this patch.
