For the system-wide INIT_CLK* macros, I've intentionally made them initalisers 
rather than declarators, so that we can use them in other declarators (ie, the 
usage of INIT_CLK() above). This would be relevant if someone is using 
clk_fixed in their struct - probably not likely, but good to be consistent.

But yes, it would be good to avoid having to specify the name twice - how 
about adding a:

#define DEFINE_CLK_FIXED(name, r) \
	struct clk_fixed name = INIT_CLK_FIXED(name, r)

- just like DEFINE_MUTEX and MUTEX_INITIALIZER.

Cheers,


Jeremy
