This has a couple of advantages:
* Completely hides struct clk from many clock platform drivers and static
  clock initialization code.
* Simplifies the generic clk_register() function and allows adding optional
  fields in the future without modifying the function signature.
* Allows for simpler static initialization of clocks on all platforms by
  removing the need for forward delcarations.
* Halves the number of symbols added for each static clock initialization.

I agree this is a reasonable move.  But while you simplify the interface
of clk_register(), why not making a further step to simplify the
following interfaces simple too?

struct clk *clk_register_fixed_rate(struct device *dev, const char *name,
                const char *parent_name, unsigned long flags,
                unsigned long fixed_rate);
struct clk *clk_register_gate(struct device *dev, const char *name,
                const char *parent_name, unsigned long flags,
                void __iomem *reg, u8 bit_idx,
                u8 clk_gate_flags, spinlock_t *lock);
struct clk *clk_register_divider(struct device *dev, const char *name,
                const char *parent_name, unsigned long flags,
                void __iomem *reg, u8 shift, u8 width,
                u8 clk_divider_flags, spinlock_t *lock);
struct clk *clk_register_mux(struct device *dev, const char *name,
                char **parent_names, u8 num_parents, unsigned long flags,
                void __iomem *reg, u8 shift, u8 width,
                u8 clk_mux_flags, spinlock_t *lock);

Otherwise,
