Still crazy, but a bit better.

Why do you need the clk_count? A null terminated list is better, as the
compiler can do it for you and you do not have to keep things in sync
like you are expecting people to be forced to do now.

The above is much more complex than a simple function call to make.
Remember to make it very simple for driver authors, and more
importantly, reviewers.

Thanks, and drop the count field please.
