As I mentioned in earlier patch, I don't see the need for this debugfs
interface. Clock lay has read-only interface in debugfs already. Also if
you want to debug clocks, you can do so using the driver which uses
these clocks. Do you really want to manage clocks in user-space ?
The whole idea of EEMI kind of interface is to abstract and hide the
fine details even from non-trusted rich OS like Linux kernel, but by
providing this you are doing exactly opposite.
