I think it would be way more fitting if those go in via I2C.

I have been pointed recently to subtle bugs when converting to devm_*.
Even more, there is still the ongoing idea of platform_devm_* to
simplify further. I need to scratch my head about those in general, but
I won't do this before my 10 day vacation starting tomorrow. Until I am
done with that, the devm_get_clock is probably in mainline. While devm_*
patches are nice, they are not really critical. So, I prefer to take
some extra time to get it right.

Thanks,
