The build problem of ar71xx was fixed here:
https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/46572

The arch code did not export all the clk functions needed, but claimed
to do so. Is your patch needed with r46572 any more? When an arch really
does not support clocks it a driver would use the static inline
functions doing nothing instead.
