Allwinner clk driver doesn't uses any common clk such as generic div/mux/gate,
but redefines a lot of different small clk driver.

I tried to port the Allwinner clk into barebox, but it requires some changes:
 - get_parent function signatures doesn't match barebox's callback signatures
 - include <linux/delay.h> is missing and should include clock.h
 - clk drivers uses `struct notifier_block` which isn't supported
 - clk drivers uses get_rate_range which isn't supported either

I think that right now i don't have the energy to look further into porting
the Linux sunxi clock code to barebox.
I am fine with keeping this modified clk driver.
However, i would like for the V2 to put some functions into a common file
so they can be shared with other sunxi SoC.
