There are two ways here:
1. Leave clk_register() untouched and create lookups in machine code.
2. change clk_register():
	A. pass all arguments as i mentioned in my patch
	B. pass structure instead of all so many args.

Option 2 will have much lesser code than option 1, with both option A & B.
In option 2.A.: we can create separate registration routines to save extra
arguments passed, like:

 struct clk *clk_register_gate(struct device *dev, const char *name,
 		const char *parent_name, unsigned long flags,
 		void __iomem *reg, u8 bit_idx,
		u8 clk_gate_flags, spinlock_t *lock, struct clk_lookup **cl,
		const char *dev_id, const char *con_id);

static inline struct clk *clk_register_gate_nolookup(struct device *dev,
		const char *name, const char *parent_name, unsigned long flags,
		void __iomem *reg, u8 bit_idx, u8 clk_gate_flags,
		spinlock_t *lock);

Nodes, that don't need lookup stuff, can go ahead as earlier, just need
to add _nolookup in existing routine name.
