This claims and enables clocks listed in the simple framebuffer dt node.
This is needed so that the display engine, in case the required clocks
are known by the kernel code and are described in the dt, will remain
properly enabled.

This looks like it does what you expect, but its name and the fact
that it's in the clk-provider.h file makes me wonder if you're not
using the wrong side of the abstraction.

I'll check to see if there is something better, assuming Luc does not
beat me to it.

devm_clk_get?

Yes that would be better.

I really don't think this whole list dance is necessary, especially
after reading this comment. 

So you're suggesting to just make this an array, with say 5 entries, or ... ?
