I did a grep in the drivers/clk directory. All of the platform drivers 
are having the device ptr and all of them are called with NULL. I am not 
sure what is the intent of this arg in the API.  As per documentation of 
the clk_register() API, the device ptr points to the device that is 
registering this clk. So if a specific device driver ever has to 
register a PLL div clk, this will be non NULL. In  the normal use case, 
clk is registered in a platform specific code and is always passed NULL.

The platform/SoC specific clock initialization code will be using 
davinci_plldiv_clk() that doesn't have a device ptr arg.
So this can be changed in future in sync with other drivers (assuming 
this will get removed if unused), and changes
doesn't impact the platform code that initialize the clock. So IMO, we 
should keep this arg so that it is in sync with other driver APIs.

As stated in the top of the file, this is a subclass driver of clk-div 
similar in line with mxs/clk-div.c. The
driver registers the clock instead of calling clk_register_divider() so 
that it's ops function has a chance to do whatever it wants to do and 
call the divider ops function after that.
