Why does any of the above need ifdefs?

I'm not happy with any of these changes, because it introduces a huge
number of ifdefs.

Instead of doing this, please introduce a local typedef in this .c file
which is conditional on whether we're using your new struct clk_core
or not, eg, clkdev_ret_t.

Then, rename all the functions here to be _provider based, and arrange
for these to return clkdev_ret_t.

Then provide the original functions, with your __clk_create_clk() call
to allocate your struct clk.  A dummy version which merely returns its
argument can be provided when we're not using clk_core.

This should result in substantially fewer ifdefs - probably just one
ifdef.

Another concern here is what happens when __clk_create_clk() fails.
Your __clk_create_clk() function does nothing in that regard, so any
references which the parent function took are never released.
