Huh, but this driver is attempting to grab some sort of parent clock and 
enable them, so how does that work ?

So, in light of this, why not push for use of CCF as much as possible 
and deprecate the current non-CCF clock support ? It seems like the 
right thing to do, and avoids growing ad-hoc workarounds for missing 
core functionality in drivers, which I really want to avoid .
