Yes. Use clk_hw_get_clk() here, or introduce a
clk_hw_notifier_register() API that does that automatically. We will
have to put the clk on unregister path as well though, so maybe struct
clk_notifier needs to be extended to store the clk_hw pointer. The
notifier code kinda needs an overhaul to be clk_hw/clk_core aware. I
think it predates the introduction of struct clk_core? It's a bunch of
work I've been putting off.
