OK, despite what I said before, I do need this, or
something like it, so I can look up clocks by name.
(Continued below.)

Yes I recognize this.  Ideally a CCU would have a device struct
associated with it that I could use, because the name of a clock
is unique within that context.  But I have no such device available.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong.  I don't want to make one up, and
I would like to use it if it exists.)

I can do something like that if I can get a meaningful device
structure.  Do you have any suggestions?

Other than this issue, I've implemented all of the previous
initialization routines using ->prepare() instead, and it
works fine.  I'm going to send an updated series out tomorrow.
I want to look it over again after a good night's sleep...
