Please add an explanation of why we want this sort of API. The
example you gave for audio sound card is useful. We're not going
to remember 5 months from now why we did something, so we should
put that here instead of digging through mailing list archives.

Please call this devm_get_clk_from_child() instead. Also, replace
the index argument with a string called con_id. Then call
of_clk_get_by_name() instead of of_clk_get().

That doesn't even match the name of the function.
