This is wrong.  COMMON_CLK is an _implementation_ of the CLK API.  It
is not the only implementation in the kernel.  Conditionalizing like
this breaks existing users.

HAVE_CLK is the right thing here - if you define HAVE_CLK then you _are_
providing an implementation of clk_get() et.al.  If you're not, then you
do not define HAVE_CLK.  Simples.
