Before clock is enabled, we need to raise core voltage. After clock is
disabled, the voltage should be dropped. CCF+RPM takes care of handling
this for us.

Could you please clarify what do you mean by 'simple struct device:s'?
These clock devices should be OF devices with a of_node and etc,
otherwise we can't use OPP framework.

We don't have driver for CAR to bind. I guess we could try to add a
'dummy' CAR driver that will create sub-devices for the rpm-clocks, is
this what you're wanting?
