Here is the modified user mode clock access driver.
I moved it in /drivers/misc and reorganized virtual files under /sys/class/clock

This driver is for user level programs to interact with system clocks.
It allows to read and modify rates and parents, using virtual files.
It requires the implementation of 2 additional functions in the clk interface:
 clk_for_each() and clk_name().
Actually I implemented that functions only for Samsung S3C24xx platform.

+What:		/sys/class/clock
+Date:		January 2009
+Contact:	Davide Rizzo <elpa.rizzo@...il.com>
+Description:
+		The /sys/class/clock directory will consist of a group of
+		subdirectories each one describing an internal clock in the kernel.
+		The name of the subdirectory is the clock's name.
+		If a clock is device specific, its name is in the form "name.id".
+		In each directory there are 2 virtual files: rate and parent.
+		Both these files are r/w, but there can be some architecture-dependent
+		limitations on write access on one or both of them.
+		For this interface to work, it needs some low-level implementations (look
+		at include/linux/clk.h):
+		- clk_for_each()
+		- clk_name()
+		- clk_get() should recognize also the "name.id" format
+		Actually I implemented these only for Samsung S3C SoC in
+		arch/arm/plat-s3c/clock.c
