This driver currently provides for only one additional clkdev lookup entry
per a platform clock. I pointed out this desing issue in the early version
of the patch set. It's because a machine clock definition is coupled with
a clock consumer definition. And IMO various samsung_clock_register_*
functions should not have clk_register_clkdev() inside them. I.e. first
step could be registering all machine clocks and in the second one clkdev
lookup entries could be created. This is how most (all?) existing SoC
clock drivers are working.

But those multiple aliases are important only for machines with device
tree support, aren't they ?

I hope this patch series gets merged early to linux-next in the 3.10
cycle so the multiple accumulated fixup patches for this clock driver
can be merged as well and issues like that you pointed out can be
resolved with incremental patches.
