[PATCH] clk: export __clk_get_name for re-use in imx-ipu-v3 and others

[Niels de Vos]

This fixes the following error when building for arm-imx:
> ERROR: "__clk_get_name" [drivers/staging/imx-drm/ipu-v3/imx-ipu-v3.ko] undefined!
> make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
> make: *** [modules] Error 2

There are valid usecases to get the name of a clock, be it for debugging
purposes or to register a children of a clock like done in this IPU driver.
Therefore exporting __clk_get_name() and make it available for others makes
sense.

Gnerally I think the name of a clock shouldn't be a secret, so:

I've taken this into clk-next, but I'm not too pleased with it for any
purpose other than debugging.  For this reason I opted to keep the
double underscores (as opposed to EXPORTing a new clk_get_name which
calls __clk_get_name) to make all users of the API feel uneasy and
otherwise of low character.

Currently the clock framework relies on parent names for registering
clocks from defined in static data but this limitation isn't really true
for clocks defined as part of DT.  More to think about for the future.

Mike
