- * __clk_register - register a clock and return a cookie.
- *
- * Same as clk_register, except that the .clk field inside hw shall point to a
- * preallocated (generally statically allocated) struct clk. None of the fields
- * of the struct clk need to be initialized.
- *
- * The data pointed to by .init and .clk field shall NOT be marked as init
- * data.
- *
- * __clk_register is only exposed via clk-private.h and is intended for use with
- * very large numbers of clocks that need to be statically initialized.  It is
- * a layering violation to include clk-private.h from any code which implements
- * a clock's .ops; as such any statically initialized clock data MUST be in a
- * separate C file from the logic that implements its operations.  Returns 0
- * on success, otherwise an error code.
