Did I suggest this?

I'd prefer we actually went through all the work and actually
allocated another clk structure here. We can add another string
or two for the dev_id and con_id too for debug/accouting
purposes.

The hw->clk is sort of a remnant of the clk_core introduction. I
can't recall the exact plan (i.e. I should write it down
somewhere once I do) but I think we want to get rid of hw->clk
and have everyone use clk_hw_get_clk() instead. Then for
traversals from the clk_hw pointer to a clk pointer are very
clear.
