There are clk_bulk_*() functions, maybe you can use those to get rid of these loops ?

This sounds goods, but checking more in details I see that moving to the 'bulk' implementation would require to move the clk information from the "struct stm32_gpio_bank *banks" member to its parent "struct stm32_pinctrl".

This would make the clk device information stored in a different structure from the other device-related information (base address, reset control, ...). It's better to keep all those information together in the same struct.

As another drawback we would loose access to 'clk' from any function that have 'bank' (or 'struct gpio_chip *chip') as input parameter (e.g. stm32_gpio_get() called from gpiolib).

So I really prefer to keep the current implementation.

The rest looks good to me.
