Right now we can't do dynamic registration for on-chip devices in a

associated struct clks.

I've been wondering about this, and I don't see it as a blocking problem
as you seem to be.

I assume platform devices have stable names when they're created from
the device tree?  If yes, there's no problem having the DT start to
describe the SoC specific devices _today_ - all that the clk API using
clkdev requires is a stable device name.
