With the entire clock driver code in one file this is quite messy as I also 
needed to add module_init and module_exit functions to (un)register each 
platform driver, presumably because the module_platform_driver macro doesn't 
work with multiple platform drivers in one module. If I split up the driver 
code for each clock controller block into its own file (such as clk-of-
pxa1908-apbc.c) as I believe is the best option, should the commits be split 
up accordingly as well?

I'd rather leave it to someone with the hardware then, especially since the 
only reason I found out about the above is that the board I'm working on 
failed to boot completely without the module_init function.
