Yes, right. See it as a quick-n-dirty solution...

...until something better is found. Adding the clock name to clk_lookup
seems like a good start.

I wanted to avoid having 'clkbla =' before every initializer. Maybe we
can skip struct clk from struct clk_lookup and only keep the name.
__clk_lookup could then be called in clk_get. This way looking up the
clock would be done when a clock is requested and we wouldn't do it
all at once and wouldn't add delays to the boot process.
