Let me know what you think,
I don't see the interest to have common code for 32bits and 64bits.
The clock driver of a SoC will never evolve, so, it is simpler to
copy the source common with the H3 into a clean A64 clock driver.
I'm not sure why 32 bits vs 64 bits matters here. We're going to share
a significant number of drivers already between armv7 and armv8, like
MMC, EMAC, I2C, and so on.

And I expect to share the data in other SoCs for the A10, A13 and A20
for example, or A23/A33, which have a lot of clocks in common too.
The interest of your sunxi-ng approach is that the clocks of each SoC
is described in one file. Here you are mixing 2 SoCs in the same source
file. The advantage is lost.
