Yes, this is single instance only in current SoCs. This is no reason
though to make the driver single instance capabable only. It's not
much work to change and it raises less eyebrows if it's properly
written.
In the end I never thought that there ever would be two instances of
the i.MX graphics subsystem (IPU). Now the i.MX6 has two of them...

That is because the clk_register_clkdev() in your other patch is wrong.

Look at the 'clocks' and 'clock-names' properties in the devicetree.
Also look at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/imx28-clock.txt.

In short you have to add a clock to your devicetree node and then use
clk_get(). The struct device * passed to clk_get will make the bridge
between the device and the devicenode and the id argument will be the
same name as in the devicetree.
