So I gave this patch a try this weekend. I would have a few comments/
questions. Thank you for sharing this!

nit: how about naming this lists v4l2_clks ?

Hmm, the clock list is global, why should we assume there will be only one
entry with NULL v4l2_clk::id ? It would be useful to not provide the per
subdev clock id when there is only one clock used per a sub-device, which
is a majority of cases AFAICT.

Ok, then clk->dev_id is supposed to be a sub-string of sd->name,
looks good...

but why we are doing a "strong" check here ? Couldn't the second strcmp()
be just strstr() ?

ops->owner can be null when the clock provider module is built-in, not
a loadable module. I actually hit this problem. ops->owner needs to be
removed and I think the clocks list check could be removed as well,
please see my comment above.
Also it might be useful to check if a particular clocks is already
registered, to make this more foolproof and easier to debug.

I have reworked some of the functions found here while trying to use your
work with s3c-camif and ov9650 sensor drivers [1]. Please feel free to
take (part of) these changes, if there are any you agree with.
I planned to also rework s3c-camif and add asynchronous subdev registration
to it, but didn't quite managed to do it yet, it's going to be next step.

I've found it helpful to add a
void *priv;
field here, so the clock provider module can use it as a cookie,
which can be passed in a call to v4l2_clk_register() and then
retrieved in the clock ops. I'm not sure if this could be replaced
with some container_of() magic.
