Daniel,

the current common clock framework does not register any of its "core"
clocks, i.e. fixed-clock, et.al. I haven't had a look at the way regulator
api registers them. But if you find the way reasonable, why not propose
a patch for ccf that registers at least a set of the core clocks itself?
