That's what the tegra_clks is for. If the clock isn't in that table, it won't
be registered.

If they differ for Tegra20 and Tegra30, we will need some extra clocks here,
which will have a new ID and then only be defined in the tegra_clks for those
SoCs. Alternatively they can stay in the SoC specific files.

Same here.

There's always the option of keeping things in per-SoC files, even with this
infra. Every SoC can decide which of these 'common clocks' it wants to have
registered.
