HI Maciej,

Just sharing a couple of fly-by ideas - please don't read too much into them.

Most places use a small fixed number of struct clk pointers.
Using devres + kalloc to allocate 1-4 pointers feels a bit strange.

Quick grep shows over 150 instances that could be updated to use the new API.
Adding a cocci script to simplify the transition would be a good idea.

The extra header declaration should not be needed. One should be able
to forward declare any undefined structs.
