Overall it seems to copy quite a bit of code from sunxi-ng, which
is OK, but if that's just copy/paste + replace some names then
perhaps we should consolidate the two implementations into one
that both SoCs can use.

Also, is there any reason why we can't use a platform device
driver for this instead of the DT probing mechanism? That is more
preferred method of probing clk controllers.
