I think this is perfectly realistic.

You're not going to duplicate each clk_register_clkdev(),
which makes it way smaller than the original function,
and since one of the function will be inside a

#ifdef CONFIG_OF
#endif

After we switch the entire platform to DT-only it will be pretty
obvious which big chunk of code that needs to go away, it's
a clean cut.

(Note: I know the #ifdef CONFIG_OF is not necessary anymore
since we switched to multiplatform, but I intend that marker for
humans, not machines.)

Yours,
Linus Walleij
