This clock framework is for a single line of MIPS SoCs which are no longer being developed by the manufacturer and I don't think it is reusable for any other soc line currently in existence. I'd like to keep it within the mips tree for that reason. (I find the ARM way of sprinkling the whole tree with a single driver for each iteration of each custom on-chip peripheral on each ARM chip [exaggerated of course] quite messy. But that's just me).
