Modern CPUs from CLPS711X-line can operate at frequencies other than 73 MHz.
This patch adds simple clkdev framework for handling all possible CPU rates.

We just had the exact same discussion about a new clock implementation for
mcs814x and for the socfpga port. My feeling is that it makes no sense
to keep adding new private implementations of the API as we're trying
to get rid of the existing ones and replace them with the common code.

If I understand this correctly, you should be using DEFINE_CLK_FIXED_RATE
and DEFINE_CLK_DIVIDER etc to define the initial clocks and the lookup
table, and possibly move all of that to drivers/clk.

Arnd is correct.  Let's go ahead and move everything over to the
common clk framework.  These patches will have to wait for 3.7
anyways, so there is plenty of time to port it over.
