Sounds reasonable. But I find that the existing kernel code takes different
strategies for this case. of_sama5d4_sckc_setup() uses clk_hw_unregister() 
after clk_hw_register_fixed_rate_with_accuracy(), while _of_fixed_clk_setup()
uses clk_hw_unregister_fixed_rate(). But at91sam926x_pmc_setup() just does
nothing in this case.

Also, tcon_ch1_setup() uses clk_unregister() after clk_register(), while
clk_register_vco_pll() just does nothing. 

So I'm not sure if we should register here and which unregister function to 
use. Would you please give me more specific advice about this problem?
