Ack. Will remove .round_rate.

Mike,
I tried to use platform_driver approach, but didn't work for me.
On MIPS/PIC32 first call of clk_get() happens from "start_kernel -> time_init()->
plat_time_init()" which is very early in boot sequence even before execution of
early_initcall(). In short, by platform_driver way I'was not able to register clock(s)
before the first clock user becomes ready. Whereas with CLK_OF_DECLARE() I can
explicitly call of_clk_init() in plat_time_init() just before calling clk_get().

Please suggest me if you have any reference to avoid my case.
