Hi,

In the followup mails I'd like to introduce a bit new approach for
"clocklib".
First, it's based on kobjects. So we do get sysfs integration nearly for
free. Also now struct clk is completely opaque. So we can change it's
implementation without impacting clocks providers.

Also in clk_ops I've merged (as suggested by Haavard) the set_rate and
round_rate calls since they usually have lots of common code.

The clk_set_parent() isn't implemented yet, but this code is only an RFC!
