Right, I overlooked this.

Considering all of the headers for the clock controllers are an exact or
almost exact copy of the downstream ones ever since qcom switched to using
the common clock framework in 2017 or so, plus I am not sure how
copyrightable this is, given copying names from the .c driver, making them
uppercase and assigning them consecutive numbers is not exactly much of a
creative work.. so I don't think anybody would oppose it?

Obviously I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice..
