Hi Jeremy
In November I already sent a proposal on
 a generic linux clk framework.
On that I would suggest:
quoted
+struct clk {
+	const struct clk_operations *ops;
   
           spinlock_t lock;
           const char *name;
           int id;
Name and ID are totally pointless, unless you insist on using the clk
API in the wrong way (like S3C does.)
I do intend to change the clock lookup on the Samsung series, but we're
currently in the process of trying to do a whole pile of work on not
only adding new SoCs but also cleaning up the existing support and making
a whole pile of code common to all the Samsung SoC family.

I never got the time to go throughly through Francesco's clock framework
but it seemed rathe rcomplicated for our current requirements and also
had a whole pile of style problems that made it really difficult to read.
