It makes a difference at least on my gcc version 11.1.0.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  18257      12       0   18269    475d drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/sunxi-ccu.o

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  18083      12       0   18095    46af drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/sunxi-ccu.o

I will send a v2 covering all of the CCU clock types.

Regards,
Samuel
