It's just that this approach of scanning everything we know and
expect about the clock seems a bit unnecessary.. Going with the
approach I suggested below (i.e. separate struct clk for important
ones like core or mem clock) simplify this to the point where you
just set opp_set_rate on the imporant ones and you can throw
clk_bulk_ operations at the ones that simply need to be en/disabled.
