Thanks, that makes sense.

I double checked with my contacts and the only requirement here is that
memory has to be word-accessed, so I'll figure out a sane way to write
this.

The purpose here was for clk_hw_register() to consume it and never look
back, but I agree that it's a bit fragile. I'll review Stephen's
proposed patch.

Yeah, I was worried about qmp_close() before unregistering the clock.
I'll take another look, will at least have to fix the error handling on
of_clk_add_hw_provider()

To me this carries a message that the removal order is significant,
which I'm unable to convince myself that it is.

Yes of course, thanks for your review.
