It seems that you should have a separate clock defines for each
clock instead. That way we can later on populate that with
the clock specific data.

Well I would make it even simpler initially. Just a standard .dts
clock defined that gets parsed by drivers/clock/ driver that just
calls clk_add_alias(). Then the consumer driver can just do clk_get()
and and the right clock is found, see below.

There should be a separate entry for each clock defined,
like auxclk1 in the USB case assuming the clock being used
is aux clock #1. I doubt that we want to map all the auxclks
as a single clock as they are separate clocks AFAIK.

Then in the consumer driver you would just have:

			clocks = <&auxclk1 0>;

for the USB case, then something else for the cpufreq driver.

AFAIK no need to tinkering with the clockxxxx_data.c files.

Then this can be just a minimal DT device driver that initially just
calls clk_add_alias() so the right clock is found when the driver
does clk_get(). Probably should be drivers/clock/omap/clk.c.
