I'm not terribly worried about not using DT for this driver as it is
for an ARM SoC's built-in ADC which is only supported via DT.  I take
your point though.  What's the right way to do this?  Use clk_get() to
request by name and clock-names in the DT?

Do you mean call of_clk_add_hw_provider with of_clk_hw_simple_get or
something else?  I'm still wrapping my head around the distinction
between clk, clk_hw, and a clk provider.
