yes, apologies, should have stated the prototypes of functions in a
single __clk_of_table should not be two different argument list. The
reason is as follows: CLK_OF_DECLARE fills up that list. there can be
generic drivers such as [1] which might be registered, OR in the case
of MULTI_ARCH - multiple other SoC drivers would have registered
there. There is a bunch of stuff we could mess up here.

If we do not have a choice, if we would like to maintain a different
prototype based init list, we should probably do it in a different
structure - example __clk_of_table_regmap or something similar..

you still can do that:

of_prcm_init->ti_dt_clk_init_provider-> instead of matching nodes from
__clk_of_table, you can make it __clk_of_regmap_table -> the
CLK_OF_DECLARE will not be good enough here ofcourse, but this will
probably belong to a generic regmap enabled clock support framework -
i dont see much that is TI specific in drivers/clk/ti/clk.c and it
makes sense to be part of generic clock framework handling as generic
clock framework will receive regmap support based on previous patches.
that allows for other platforms to use regmap based clk drivers as well.
