Hi Andrew,

This patch looks good overall, but I have some minor comments inline.

Don't we need to unregister all the registered clocks in remove? This also 
leads to another question: Do we even need removal support for this 
driver?

Does it need to be core_initcall? Drivers depending on clocks provided by 
this driver should be able to defer probing if they are probed before this 
driver.

Then you would be able to simply use module_platform_driver() below.

nit: IMHO Audio Subsystem instead of AudioSS would be more meaningful.

This should be GPL v2.
