Heiko's approach look much more clean to me and even for Exynos platform
which has currently about 350 clocks and is going to be dt-only starting
from 3.10 we are talking about 1.5kB of memory. Other (s3c64/24xx)
platforms have much less clocks (70...150).

IMHO all clocks aliases should be registered as it is done in Heiko's
patch series. And the clocks table could just be freed on non-dt
platforms if it is a real issue and anyone is concerned about it.
