This document endeavours to explain the common clk framework details,

detailed explanation of the clock api in include/linux/clk.h, but
perhaps someday it will include that information.

The strength of the common struct clk_core comes from its .ops and .hw pointers
which abstract the details of struct clk from the hardware-specific bits, and
vice versa. To illustrate consider the simple gateable clk implementation in

knowledge about which register and bit controls this clk's gating.
