Definitely based on vendors subvendors, not sure about how, I have not
really though about the details: you also shoudl consider that the new
clk ops for spread spectrum should be registered ONLY when you are on a
supported platform (of course) AND the OEM types nnamespace is per-vendor:
like vendor protocols your NXP OEM config type 0x80 must coexist with any
future possible OTHER_VENDOR OEM ConfigType 0x80.
