Exported functions should have some documentation in the standard kernel
documentation format. See Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt

Are these run-time BUG_ON checks really worth it? BUG_ON is effectively:

if (condition_is_true)
cause_a_null_pointer_dereference;

So, if you're checking for pointers you're about dereference being NULL,
there's little point - dereferencing the when they're NULL will cause an
oops, and you won't have the overhead of the runtime tests checking them
for NULL. Ditto elsewhere in this file.

Not sure wrapping these in DEBUG_VERBOSE is necessary. dev_dbg() is a
no-op unless DEBUG is defined.

Hmm. You call this in relation to an error, but you print everything at
'info' level. Are you sure that's correct?

Avoid passing a NULL struct device except when you have absolutely no other
choice. &pdev->dev looks sensible. By doing this, it also provides us with
a path to fixing the OMAP clk API implementation without having to fix lots
of drivers.
