It's not really any hassle, we've got a one of these in ASoC.  The list
gets long but if you keep it sorted it's not an issue for merges and
otherwise it's just long not complicated.  The ability to get build
coverage is *really* useful.

Not quite - it's used in three different variants (one for each of the
clocks).

I have an extremely strong dislike of the ternery operator, I find it
does nothing for legibility.

I dunno, I think a lot of the SoCs may be doing one clk per device.  But
equally well it's not like it'd be hard if someone starts working on the
API again.
