The downside to this approach is that we have to have two similar
structs for struct clk_gate if we want to support regmap in that code
path. If we put the regmap inside struct clk_hw we don't have two
different structs, we would just assign different ops.

struct clk_gate {
        struct clk_hw hw;
        void __iomem    *reg;
        u8              bit_idx;
        u8              flags;
        spinlock_t      *lock;
};

and

struct clk_gate_regmap {
        struct clk_regmap hw;
        u8              flags;
        spinlock_t      *lock;
};

Do you have any preference on which way we move forward here? I have the
wrapper method all finished and ready to send if you agree with that
approach.
