Hi Andy,
Is there a data sheet or reference manual publicly available for the
LPSS?

I hope that we can get rid of the above two headers. See more below.

Same here. I don't see a use for the clk_lookup?

clk_unregister is for clock provider drivers that might be unloaded at
run-time, so it is nice of you to support it. However this
implementation isn't fully safe.
For instance, what happens if one day you plug in another clock provider
on top of this one? Your root clock here no longer be a root clock; it
would have a parent, and possibly a whole tree of clocks up above. If
the above happens then you'll unregister all of the parents up until you
hit a root clock!
A better alternative is for your clock provider driver (i.e. _this_
driver) to keep track of which clocks its registers and then unregister
them later.
In fact we have a nice function to help with that: devm_clk_register!
There are plenty of examples of how that is used. It doesn't work with
the "basic" clock types you are using here, but I'm not convinced that
you should be using those anyways...

A gate, then a fixed divider, and then another gate? Seems weird. Do you
have other clock signals that are not enumerated here?
Where did those clock names come from? Are they like that in the data
sheet or just made up for the sake of writing this driver?
Why are the names generated dynamically? Some static data might be
better here. Do you anticipate having more than one LPSS in a running
system? I really hate __clk_get_name and would like to remove it some
day. If we can avoid using it here then I would be grateful.
Also, why do you register these clocks with clkdev? Do other drivers
clk_get them? When are the gates ever enabled/disabled?

Do ACPI tables encode any meaningful data about clock signals? I gave
some advice on this topic a couple of years ago to folks hacking on ACPI
stuff in Linux, but I haven't kept up with the topic.
By comparison, most ARM-based platforms use Devicetree to link up a
clock provider to a clock consumer. I do not think similar
infrastructure exists yet for ACPI-based designs, but I wonder if the
clock data exists in newer ACPI tables to at least make it possible?
Regards,
Mike
