Ok, I experimented with this stuff a bit to have a proper reply, and it 
looks like I can get this done with a clockdomain mapping, which has its 
own binding. Something like this:

         clockdomains {
                 usbhost_clkdm: usbhost_clkdm {
                         compatible = "ti,clockdomain";
                         clocks = <&usbhost_48m_fck>, <&usbhost_ick>;
                 };
	};

Mike, what is your approach on this? Are you okay having the 
implementation for this under drivers/clk? I recall you mentioned 
earlier that you don't want clockdomain stuff under drivers/clk, hence I 
am asking.

Here is the initial implementation for the binding:

void __init of_omap_clockdomain_setup(struct device_node *node)
{
         struct clk *clk;
         struct clk_hw *clk_hw;
         const char *clkdm_name = node->name;
         int i;
         int num_clks;

         num_clks = of_count_phandle_with_args(node, "clocks", 
"#clock-cells");

         for (i = 0; i < num_clks; i++) {
                 clk = of_clk_get(node, i);
                 if (__clk_get_flags(clk) & CLK_IS_BASIC) {
                         pr_warn("%s: can't setup clkdm for basic clk %s\n",
                                 __func__, __clk_get_name(clk));
                         continue;
                 }
                 clk_hw = __clk_get_hw(clk);
                 to_clk_hw_omap(clk_hw)->clkdm_name = clkdm_name;
                 omap2_init_clk_clkdm(clk_hw);
         }
}
CLK_OF_DECLARE(omap_clockdomain, "ti,clockdomain", 
of_omap_clockdomain_setup);

My guess is that some clocks require the clockdomain itself to be forced 
on before they are enabled, some of the DPLLs do this for example. I am 
just trying not to cause any regressions with this set, thus attempting 
to keep most of the implementation specifics intact.
