In order to simplify the clock-related code there is a way to convert the
current fixed clocks array into using the common bulk clocks kernel API
with dynamic set of the clock handlers and device-managed clock-resource
tracking. It's a bit tricky due to the complication coming from the
requirement to support the platforms (da850, spear13xx) with the
non-OF-based clock source, but still doable.

Before this modification there are two methods have been used to get the
clocks connected to an AHCI device: clk_get() - to get the very first
clock in the list and of_clk_get() - to get the rest of them. Basically
the platforms with non-OF-based clocks definition could specify only a
single reference clock source. The platforms with OF-hw clocks have been
luckier and could setup up to AHCI_MAX_CLKS clocks. Such semantic can be
retained with using devm_clk_bulk_get_all() to retrieve the clocks defined
via the DT firmware and devm_clk_get_optional() otherwise. In both cases
using the device-managed version of the methods will cause the automatic
resources deallocation on the AHCI device removal event. The only
complicated part in the suggested approach is the explicit allocation and
initialization of the clk_bulk_data structure instance for the non-OF
reference clocks. It's required in order to use the Bulk Clocks API for
the both denoted cases of the clocks definition.

Note aside with the clock-related code reduction and natural
simplification, there are several bonuses the suggested modification
provides. First of all the limitation of having no greater than
AHCI_MAX_CLKS clocks is now removed, since the devm_clk_bulk_get_all()
method will allocate as many reference clocks data descriptors as there
are clocks specified for the device. Secondly the clock names are
auto-detected. So the LLDD (glue) drivers can make sure that the required
clocks are specified just by checking the clock IDs in the clk_bulk_data
array.  Thirdly using the handy Bulk Clocks kernel API improves the
clocks-handling code readability. And the last but not least this
modification implements a true optional clocks support to the
ahci_platform_get_resources() method. Indeed the previous clocks getting
procedure just stopped getting the clocks on any errors (aside from
non-critical -EPROBE_DEFER) in a way so the callee wasn't even informed
about abnormal loop termination. The new implementation lacks of such
problem. The ahci_platform_get_resources() will return an error code if
the corresponding clocks getting method ends execution abnormally.

Changelog v2:
- Convert to checking the error-case first in the devm_clk_bulk_get_all()
   method invocation. (@Damien)
- Fix some grammar mistakes in the comments.
