The idea itself sounds not bad, but patch description fails to specify 
what is the need for this. I mean, if you know that this will have some 
actual users, it is nice to specify them.

Also IMHO the variant with clk_reg_ops (but with regmap used) would look a 
bit better in terms of readability and extensibility, but I'm leaving this 
completely to Mike's decision.

(OR maybe you could migrate this fully to regmap, which can do MMIO 
accesses as well, without the need of having separate code paths for both 
in clock code?)

Best regards,
Tomasz
