Clock drivers are generally not 'platform_drivers'. Please do one of two
things:

a) use CLK_OF_DECLARE() to register a probe function, and use a device
   tree for describing your hardware

b) rename clk_probe() to h8300_clk_init() and just call that function
   from the architecture code.

Here you have the same code again, which means the two files are mutually
exclusive. This is generally not a good idea. Instead, it's better to
make it possible to build a kernel that supports all the hardware, even
if in practice you would not want to run that kernel.

If you use CLK_OF_DECLARE(), it becomes trivial to make the two files
coexist, otherwise use two different function names here and make the
architecture code decide which one to call.

Why not use the same code as powerpc here? Drivers should normally
not use __raw_* accessors, and the ioread32be on powerpc should work here
as well.
