I like it!

Can it also take a const char *id argument? That will let us "name" the
clk structure for situations where we want to keep track of who is using
the clk pointer for things. If that doesn't seem useful then I suppose
we can pass a string like "clk_hw_get_clk" for con_id below and hope it
doesn't become useful later.
