If I have time I may try to start doing the clk_register() conversion,
but it will take a while so I doubt it will be in v4.3. I'm asking if
you can add a clk_hw based API that does something like
clk_set_rate_range() without requiring a struct clk pointer. i.e.
clk_hw_set_rate_range(struct clk_hw *hw, min, max) that constraints the
min/max rate of the clock. This way, the driver is only using clk
provider APIs and not clk consumer APIs.
