Why the extra indirection?  Does your samsung_pll_clock abstract several
different PLL implementations (with separate clock ops)?  If so, why not
make a unique struct for each PLL type?

Why is round_rate not supported?  How is returning the recalculated rate
the right thing here?

This answers my questions above having different PLL types.  Why not
just make seprate clk_hw structs for each PLL type instead of the extra
layer of abstraction + runtime assignment of clk ops?
