early platform device may do not have a device name as the slab is not yet
available. So to search a clock base on the dev_id we need to search first the
device base name and then the id

I really don't like this.  IDs are platform device specific, and this is
a platform devince independent layer.

If you want to do this, then add a platform_device_clk_get() call, which
takes the platform device and connection id.  Uses the platform device
infrastructure to format the device name, and use clk_get_sys() to look
up the device/connection id from that.

I do not want to alloc a string in the clkdev
but if you prefer

I check we can not do so
if slab is not available we can not use kmalloc

so we can not generate the dev.init_name

I check also we can not use the bootmem as it's too early in the init
so allocate the dev_id is not possible

use a satic buffer I'm not so happy about it
the only other solution is this one

which Greg or you prefer

I have no idea what you are asking, please be more specific, hopefully
including a patch showing what you are referring to.

thanks,
