I'm still not sure I understand why we need to call RPM functions on a
clock. And even if they are few, it seems wrong to make these platform
devices.

Perhaps they can be simple struct device:s instead? Ideally they would
also be parented to the CAR so that they appear in the right place in
the sysfs hierarchy.
