Looking more into the patch I got another question. Do we really need
a platform driver for that?
That's what I think motivated me for the header location. And that's
why I asked about use of the driver/clock provider in the latter
patch.
If the answer is yes, then I doubt which location is preferable,
otherwise include/clk/x86_*.h looks appropriate.
Sorry if I wasn't clear in the first place.
