The extra register is to select the clock source for peripherals like u(s)arts, 
i2c  etc. I don’t want to neglect it.
But again, today its one, tomorrow there would be more. Off-course the 
locations and definitions might change (unlikey) but macros provide better 
compatibility.
My first choice is also structures as it makes debugging/maintenance easier but 
it not scalable. Do you agree ?

Another approach could be to have another additional struct like "rcc_ext_f7" 
pointing to end of "rcc_common" struct. What's your opinion about it ?

Cheers,
Vikas
