I was waiting for someone to try them out or review them. Good that it
happened!

I've taken a look at the patches and I'm slightly annoyed with the API
that passes in a double pointer to clk_bulk_data and returns a count of
the number of clks found. I guess it's ok though. It's really just this
line:

	devres->clks = *clks;

which makes my brain all confused and go think about what's being
assigned and if it's a struct copy or not.

Maybe this on top would make it easier to take? I'll think about it
tonight.
