Yes. I basically need the clock id without grabbing the clock using a
clk_get function. See below.

>Can you explain why this function is required?

Since the CCU doesn't act like a normal clock consumer using clk_get
type functions I use this function to retrieve the CGU clock id. This
drivers is used on two CCUs blocks and I need to match the id with one
in the clk_branches array so that the driver itself can be generic.

Okey, I'll do that in the next version if we agree that the function
is still needed.
