The parent regmap "trick" was the plan. Is something wrong with
that?

Not having random clk drivers scattered throughout the tree is
sort of nice because it makes for an easier time finding things
that are similar. Maybe that's an abuse of the driver model
though? Just to get things into some same directory. I'm fine
either way.
