I suppose the only reason this isn't more or less just

        mainclk_hz = clk_get_rate(clk_get(hw->dev, "main"));

is that arch/mips/au1000/* doesn't support <linux/clk.h> yet...

In general I think it's much preferable to support that common
infrastructure than invent alternative solutions.  But I won't
be antisocial and try to hold back this driver on _that_ account!

But I will feel free to point out this particular bit of missing
infrastructure.  I hope that supporting it is on the agenda of
the MIPS subset of the embedded Linux world.  :)
