It turns out that clk-sun8i-a23-apb0 was wrong. It's a zero-based divider,
not a power-of-two divider as the driver says. Thanks to Vishnu for pointing
it out. So NACK on this series.

I'll send a patch fixing this, but what should we do for old kernels?
I don't think backporting the CLK_OF_DECLARE changes is acceptable.
Maybe a stable patch based on the fix?

Sorry for the noise.
