I wonder why you need an array of pointers to pointers of clocks. Isn't
one indirection less possible and more easy?

No, this is not easily possible if we want to use the auto-discarding of
the clocks array and a simple static initialization. The clock pointers
are only set up after the clock drivers probe routine has run, so if I
want to point to the actual clocks I would need to dynamically populate
the array and either dynamically allocate it, or would need to pre-size
the static array.

Ah right. An alternative would be to just store the indices, but I don't
think this is nicer because then you additionally need a reference to
the clk array. You don't happen to have this anyhow, do you?

Best regards
Uwe
