My point is that you're not using the bulk API as it was intended (e.g.
with clk_bulk_get()) and you risk running into issues like the above.

And looking up the actual clock name for this is overkill, even in the
case were it is provided, so we'd need to set it unconditionally to
"pipe" (which is fine).

I'll take another look at it too.
