I think I can remove it indeed.

I see your point and indeed we can remove some allocation. However using
clk_hw_register with composite clock is not straight forward. Indeed the
clk_ops is filled in the clk_hw_register_composite function and none of
these operations are exported outside the clk-composite.c file.

We can't directly point a clk_gate_ops structure or a clk_divider_ops as
you did in the drivers/clk/meson/gxbb.c file for example. For clk
composite it would need modify the framework to either export all the
operation or to create set of operations directly usable and I would
like to avoid doing it when we are close to the merge window.

However I can use static data for the clk_mux, clk_gate and clk_divider
struct.

Is it OK for you?

Thanks,

Gregory
