Pull clkdev updates from Russell King:
 "This series addresses some breakage in clkdev caused by a previous
  patch set from the clk tree which introduced per-user clk structures.
  This basically renamed the existing 'struct clk' to 'struct clk_hw',
  and introduced a new 'struct clk'.

  This change will break anyone using clk_add_alias() with the common
  clk code enabled.  Thankfully, the intersection of users of
  clk_add_alias() and those using the common clk code is practically
  zero, but this is something which should be fixed to keep the code
  sane.

  The problem is that clk_add_alias() does this:

        r = clk_get(...);
        l = clkdev_alloc(r, ...);
        clk_put(...);

  which causes the alias to store a pointer to 'r', which has been
  freed.

  The original patch set tried to work around this problem incorrectly -
  at clk_get() time, it tried to convert the struct clk to a struct
  clk_hw, and then creating a new struct clk from that.  Clearly, if the
  original struct clk has been freed, then we have a use-after-free bug.

  We have other places in the tree which do something similar, so this
  series also addresses those locations too.

  This series addresses this problem by converting clkdev to store and
  use the clk_hw pointer.  This allows clk_get() to only have to create
  it's per-user struct clk from the clk_hw.  We can also get to the
  desired clk_hw at clk_add_alias() or clk lookup creation time, when
  the struct clk is "alive".

  We also perform some cleanups of the code:

   - replacing looped calls to clkdev_add() with clkdev_add_table()

   - replacing open-coded lookup allocation (which should have been
     using clkdev_alloc()) and subsequent clkdev_add() with
     clkdev_create()

   - replacing open-coded clk_add_alias() with clk_add_alias()"
