    Returning negative error codes in a function with a return value
    unsigned long is a bit strange at least. Shouldn't that be long ?

    Now the question is whether you should provide a data structure which
    is explicitely used for static initialization and instead of having
    struct clk static you register the static initializer structure, which
    would be initdata. I don't think that anything needs clocks before the
    memory allocators are up and running. The clocks which are necessary
    to get that far have to be enabled in the boot loader anyway.

    The static initialization question should not hold off this set from
    being merged, though settling it before growing users would be nice.

    Otherwise this is a very well done infrastructure implementation!
    Thanks a lot Mike!
