clk: ambarella: add CV75 CCU driver

Add the Ambarella CV75 clock driver covering the core PLL and the UART0
/ AHB / APB clocks needed for early console bring-up.

[Severity: Low]
Is it safe to cast away the const qualifier here? 

The reg_offset array in struct amb_pll_desc is defined as const u32. Modifying
a const-qualified object through a non-const pointer like this results in
undefined behavior under C language rules.

Could this be refactored so that the struct initialization doesn't require
casting away const?
