The downside to this approach is that we have to have two similar
structs for struct clk_gate if we want to support regmap in that code
path. If we put the regmap inside struct clk_hw we don't have two
different structs, we would just assign different ops.

struct clk_gate {
struct clk_hw hw;
void __iomem *reg;
u8 bit_idx;
u8 flags;
spinlock_t *lock;
};

and

struct clk_gate_regmap {
struct clk_regmap hw;
u8 flags;
spinlock_t *lock;
};

Do you have any preference on which way we move forward here? I have the
wrapper method all finished and ready to send if you agree with that
approach.
