It does look like it's Primecell-like, so it should be using the
primecell support so that others can make use of this.  As such, it
should not be OMAP specific.

First obvious problem is that there's no error checking there.

Second problem is that this could very well be a generic driver, and
OMAP specifics should not be in here.  Looking at the Coresight ETM11
documentation, there's:

ATCLK - ATB interface clock
CLK - main clock
PCLKDBG - Debug APB clock or PCLK - APB clock

I'm not sure why OMAP seems to have four clocks when the ETM has only
three clocks itself.
