In implementing recalc for divider clocks, I started to wonder, "why
not just pass struct clk *clk into the clk_hw_ops func ptrs?".

recalc is an obvious example whereby we need access to parent->rate.
The code usually ends up looking something like:

unsigned long omap_recalc_rate(struct clk_hw *hw)
{
        struct clk *parent;
        struct clk_hw_omap *oclk;

        parent = hw->clk->parent;
        oclk = to_clk_omap(hw);
        ...
}

That's a bit of a song and dance to have to do in almost every op, and
often these ops will need access to stuff like clk->rate also.   Is
there any opposition to just passing in struct clk?  e.g:

unsigned long omap_recalc_rate(struct clk *clk)
{
        struct clk *parent;
        struct clk_hw_omap *oclk;

        parent = clk->parent;
        oclk = to_clk_omap(clk->hw);
        ...
}

It is a small nitpick, but it affects the API for everybody so best to
get it right now before folks start migrating over to it.

Thanks,
Mike
