I'm pretty lost on this whole patch. Is it for debug? Or is it to
put clk control into userspace? If it's for debug, why not just
keep this patch around locally and use it for debugging? If it's
for userspace clk control we need to have a larger discussion
around the concept of that (since Rob doesn't think it should be
done at all) and ABI (sysfs or ioctl?) before moving forward.
