+/**
+ * struct clk_core - This structure represents the internal state of a clk
+ * within the kernel's clock tree. Drivers do not interact with this structure
+ * directly. The clk_core is manipulated by the framework to manage clock
+ * operations, parent/child relationships, rate, and other properties.
+ *
+ * @name: Unique name of the clk for identification.
+ * @ops: Pointer to hardware-specific operations for this clk.
+ * @hw: Pointer for traversing from a struct clk to its
+ * corresponding hardware-specific structure.
+ * @owner: Kernel module owning this clk (for reference counting).
+ * @dev: Device associated with this clk (optional)
+ * @rpm_node: Node for runtime power management list management.
+ * @of_node: Device tree node associated with this clk (if applicable)
+ * @parent: Pointer to the current parent in the clock tree.
+ * @parents: Array of possible parents (for muxes/selectable parents).
+ * @num_parents: Number of possible parents
+ * @new_parent_index: Index of the new parent during parent change. This is
+ * also used when a clk's rate is changed.
+ * @rate: Current clock rate (Hz). This is effectively a cached
+ * value of what the hardware has been programmed with. It's
+ * initialized by reading the value at boot time, and will
+ * be updated every time an operation affects the rate.
+ * Clocks with the CLK_GET_RATE_NOCACHE flag should not use
+ * this value, as its rate is expected to change behind the
+ * kernel's back (because the firmware might change it, for
+ * example). Also, if the clock is orphan, it's set to 0
+ * and updated when (and if) its parent is later loaded, so
+ * its content is only ever valid if clk_core->orphan is
+ * false.
+ * @req_rate: The last rate requested by a call to clk_set_rate. It's
+ * initialized to clk_core->rate. It's also updated to
+ * clk_core->rate every time the clock is reparented, and
+ * when we're doing the orphan -> !orphan transition.
+ * @new_rate: New rate to be set during a rate change operation.
+ * @new_parent: Pointer to new parent during parent change. This is also
+ * used when a clk's rate is changed.
+ * @new_child: Pointer to new child during reparenting. This is also
+ * used when a clk's rate is changed.
+ * @flags: Clock property and capability flags.
+ * @orphan: True if this clk is currently orphaned.
+ * @rpm_enabled: True if runtime power management is enabled for this clk.
+ * @enable_count: Reference count of enables.
+ * @prepare_count: Reference count of prepares.
+ * @protect_count: Protection reference count against disable.
+ * @min_rate: Minimum supported clock rate (Hz).
+ * @max_rate: Maximum supported clock rate (Hz).
+ * @accuracy: Accuracy of the clock rate (parts per billion).
+ * @phase: Current phase (degrees).
+ * @duty: Current duty cycle configuration (as ratio: num/den).
+ * @children: All of the children of this clk.
+ * @child_node: Node for linking as a child in the parent's list.
+ * @hashtable_node: Node for hash table that allows fast clock lookup by name.
+ * @clks: All of the clk consumers registered.
+ * @notifier_count: Number of notifiers registered for this clk.
+ * @dentry: DebugFS entry for this clk.
+ * @debug_node: DebugFS node for this clk.
+ * @ref: Reference count for structure lifetime management.
