How about we add a get_all_the_clks_for_the_device() sort of API
that uses the bulk clk code but also allocates the array by
reading the number of clks from DT? Please think of a better name
of course. We can figure out how to handle non-DT platforms if we
need to. With clkdev we could probably handle it with some sort
of lookup table search given a device name. Don't add that part
until we have a user though. I assume simplefb is all DT
platforms?
Either way, it looks like what we really want here is a way to
get every clk for a device and not look at the details. USB has a
similar case, which I think Shawn Guo/Dong Aisheng was trying to
add an OF based bulk clk_get() API called of_clk_bulk_get()
for[1]. If this get all clks API works there too then we should
use it. If it can be non-DT specific, even better.
