I don't see what this has to do with the paragraph you quoted, but
yeah, good point. I don't think it should be used as an excuse for
filling up struct clk with platform-specific crap, however.

So how about something like this?

struct clk_ops {
	struct module	*owner;

	int (*can_get)	(struct clk *, struct device *);
	int (*set_parent) (struct clk *, struct clk *);
	int (*enable)	(struct clk *);
	void (*disable)	(struct clk *);
	unsigned long (*getrate) (struct clk*);
	int (*setrate)	(struct clk *, unsigned long);
	long (*roundrate) (struct clk *, unsigned long);
};

struct clk {
	struct list_head node;
	struct clk	*parent;

	const char	*name;
	int		users;

	const struct clk_ops *ops;
};
