The reasoning should be added to the series, but I would like to see clk
providers only deal with clk_hw structures and not with clk structures.
This clearly divides the line between clk consumers and clk providers so
that we know if clk providers are using the clk API themselves. That's
why I introduced clk_hw_register() in the first place.
