Thanks for your patch!

I there any advantage of using dr_release_t over "void (*action)(void *)",
like devm_add_action() does?  The latter lacks the "device *" parameter.

Both branchs should use { ...}

Why return data or NULL, instead of 0 or -Efoo, like devm_add_action()?

Unrelated change (which is less readable than the original, IMHO).

Nested ifs are easier to read when the outer one uses curly braces:

        if (!ret) {
                if (!devm_add(dev, wrap_clk_bulk_put, &arg, sizeof(arg)))
                        ret = -ENOMEM;
        }

Or merge the condition with &&.

But in this case, I would write it as:

        if (ret)
                return ret;

        if (!devm_add(dev, wrap_clk_bulk_put, &arg, sizeof(arg)))
                return -ENOMEM;

        return 0;

(+ consider devm_add() returning the error code instead, cfr. above).

BTW, I'm still wondering if the varargs macro discussed on #armlinux would
help.  I.e.

    devm_add(dev, wrap_clk_bulk_put, struct clk_bulk_devres, clks, num_clks)

would create and populate the temporary arg variable.

That would require defining an argument struct for the use in devm_clk_get(),
though.
