[PATCH 5/6] clk: Support multiple instances of the same clock provider

[Mark Brown]

Currently the generic clk API identifies clocks internally using the name
of the clock. This is OK for on-SoC clocks where we have enough control to
disambiguate but doesn't work well for clocks provided on external chips
where a system design may include more than one instance of the same chip
(the Wolfson Speyside system is an example of this) or may have namespace
collisions.

Address this by allowing the clock provider to supply a struct device for
the clock for use in disambiguation. As a first pass if it is provided we
prefix the clock name with the dev_name() of the device. With a device
tree binding for clocks it should be possible to remove this mangling and
instead use the struct device to provide access to the binding information.

In order to avoid needless noise in names and memory usage it is strongly
recommended that on-SoC clocks do not provide a struct device until the
implementation is improved.
