For the first thing this ends up allocating more memory at run time when
we've already got a list of our clocks created from the compile time
structures that describe them.

I could certainly see that we could use clkdev to deal with this, but I
would like to schedule looking at this until after the current round of
SoC code cleanups and the addition of the s5p6440 SoC.
