You have both the hpll and apb_clk in the same register (probably even more 
clocks?) and separate clock instances where each instance will of_iomap the 
register itself (and thus multiple times in general).

>From what I remember exposing the clock controller as one block (instead of 
declaring each clock individually in the dts) is still the preferred way but I 
don't think I can find Mike's mail from back then easily.

And I think most clock-controller implementations actually use that paradigm.
