FYI, Prashant is on vacation for the next week or two, so I'll take over
this series to clean up any last review comments.

(it's a good idea to quote as little text as possible; paging through
the whole patch to find your comments was slightly painful).

The issue you mention is more about whether "init" is copied from the
stack or not; simplying changing the initialization to:

> struct clk *tegra_clk_sync_source(const char *name, unsigned long rate,
> unsigned long max_rate)
> {

> };

... doesn't really address that, although it's a perfectly reasonable
change.

To address the copying issue, why not just add a comment:

/*
* This data pointed at by this field is copied by
* clk_register(), so a pointer to the stack is OK.
*/
sync->hw.init = &init;

clk = clk_register(NULL, &sync->hw);

I'll make the other changes you suggested.
