Ah, now I got it.
You are saying that the original commit a445900c906092 ("i2c:
designware: Add support for AMD I2C controller") actually never worked
because it failed to register the clock with clkdev? In that case it is
not even a regression ;-) Oh my...
In that case I don't think we need to fix that for 3.18+ because it
never worked in the first place.
