The intention to return the clk pointers was in the case where caller wants to
manipulate a particular clock in certain conditions. They can obtain the clock pointer
and use clk_set_parent, clk_set_rate on those particular clocks.
But I understand that in that case users can use existing clk_bulk_get_all() API.
So, should I go ahead and send v7?
