Also since "init" is allocated from stack, members are expected to be
initialized *zero*. The last 2 lines are not necessary in the above.

         struct clk_init_data init = {
                 .ops = &tegra_clk_sync_source_ops;
                 .name = name;
                 .flags = CLK_IS_ROOT;
         };

OK
