It seems like even though the lib.a file is compiled properly, it is
never linked in. It looks like we would be supposed to add
drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ to libs-y, but that doesn't seem to work for
Makefiles in drivers/*

Ah, too bad. I see that only one directory under drivers/ uses something
with lib.a, in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile, but that seems to
rely on being special-cased as well.

However, this patch seems to fix it:

diff --git a/drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/Makefile b/drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/Makefile

It's not documented behavior, but I think it's still good enough,
and improves the current version, unless there is another bug
after we add this to your patch.
