I have checked this on ARM platform where these definitions are 
available (clk_get/clk_put* variants are usually used by ARM platforms).

To ensure compilation does not fail on x86_64 we can do either of three 
things:

1. Protecting clk_get/clk_put* calls under macro 'CONFIG_HAVE_CLK' in 
the driver.

2. Adding a check in Kconfig for HAVE_CLK.
(But that will limit the compilation of this driver for only platforms 
which are ARM based/or similar).

3. We can pick the patches circulated by Viresh Kumar where we don't 
have HAVE_CLK defined for x86_64, then the inline routines like 
following should come into play:

static inline unsigned long clk_get_rate(struct clk *clk)
{
         return 0;
}

See the patches for the same here:

Please let me know your opinion.
