Can you elaborate what you find confusing about this code. I would gladly try
to clarify and improve the code.
What happens here is that the driver registers a mux -> divider -> gate chain
for each output clock, but only stores the gate clock. When unregistering the
clocks, the driver starts at the gate and walks up to the mux while
unregistering the clocks.
