I could be reading this wrong, but that appears to create a gated
clock.

hw = clk_hw_register_gate(dev, "mac1rclk", "mac12rclk", 0,
	       		scu_g6_base + ASPEED_MAC12_CLK_DLY, 29, 0,
			&aspeed_g6_clk_lock);

/**
 * clk_hw_register_gate - register a gate clock with the clock framework
 * @dev: device that is registering this clock
 * @name: name of this clock
 * @parent_name: name of this clock's parent
 * @flags: framework-specific flags for this clock
 * @reg: register address to control gating of this clock
 * @bit_idx: which bit in the register controls gating of this clock
 * @clk_gate_flags: gate-specific flags for this clock
 * @lock: shared register lock for this clock
 */

There is nothing here about writing a value into @reg at creation time
to give it a default value. If you look at the vendor code, it has
extra writes, but i don't see anything like that in mainline.
