You could avoid having two sets of operations if you stored the
set_to_enable value in struct clk_hw_gate. It might be useful to store
additional information in struct clk_hw_gate if you also want to extend
to supporting non-32bit registers (readb, etc), clocks with write only
registers, or support clocks which require more than one bit to be set
or cleared to enable them, etc. See the basic mmio gpio driver for a
similar case.
