I think you missed my point. I didn't suggest using
clk_register_divider or clk_register_divider_table(). I'm
suggesting to use
unsigned long divider_recalc_rate(struct clk_hw *hw, unsigned long parent_rate,
unsigned int val, const struct clk_div_table *table,
unsigned long flags);
long divider_round_rate(struct clk_hw *hw, unsigned long rate,
unsigned long *prate, const struct clk_div_table *table,
u8 width, unsigned long flags);
int divider_get_val(unsigned long rate, unsigned long parent_rate,
const struct clk_div_table *table, u8 width,
unsigned long flags);

I think the basic flag is there for drivers that want to know what type
of clock they're dealing with when all they have is the struct clk_hw
pointer. I like to discourage use of this flag in hopes of deleting
it someday.

Yes a single patch is fine. I take it you want the patch to go
through arm-soc with some Ack from us?
