You can do something else too:

int clk_register_clkdev(struct clk *clk, struct clk_lookup *cl, size_t num)
{
	unsigned i;

	if (!clk)
		return -ENOMEM;

	for (i = 0; i < num; i++, cl++) {
		cl->clk = clk;
		clkdev_add(cl);
	}
	return 0;
}

and:

int clk_register_single_clkdev(struct clk *clk, const char *devname, const char *conname)
{
	struct clk_lookup *cl;

	if (!clk)
		return -ENOMEM;

	cl = clkdev_alloc(clk, conname, "%s", devname);
	if (!cl)
		return -ENOMEM;
	clkdev_add(cl);
	return 0;
}

and do:

static struct clk_lookup clk_foo_lookups[] = {
	{
		.dev_name = foo,
		.con_name = bar,
	}, {
		...
	},
};

	clk = clk_register(dev, NULL, &ops, &hw, NULL, 0, 0);
	ret = clk_register_clkdev(clk, clk_foo_lookups, ARRAY_SIZE(clk_foo_lookups));
	if (ret)
		...

and:

	clk = clk_register(dev, NULL, &ops, &hw, NULL, 0, 0);
	ret = clk_register_simple_clkdev(clk, "devname", "conname");
	if (ret)
		...

which are both much easier to use than a function taking some 11
arguments, and doesn't require each and every clk_register*() function
to be modified to take the clkdev stuff.
