factorise some generic infrastructure to assist looking up struct clks
for the ARM & SH architecture.

as the code is identical at 99%

put the arch specific code for allocation as example in asm/clkdev.h

I can't apply this patch using GNU patch. I've tested 2.5.9 and 2.6.1
from Gentoo.

Using --dry-run is fine, but omitting dry-run gives me:

...
patching file arch/arm/common/clkdev.c
patching file arch/sh/include/asm/clkdev.h
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 11.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
arch/sh/include/asm/clkdev.h.rej

I guess this is caused by the last "renaming" hunk, see below.

I thought these things were supposed to work out of the box...

Yes, they work out of the box, but only for people using git :-)

Maybe git-apply can be used instead of patch?

Best regards
Uwe
