clk: Update docs after removal of clk-private.h

Currently Documentation/clk.txt describes an obsolete techinique to
statically define struct clk objects.

This capability was removed by b09d6d991025("clk: remove clk-private.h")
and is no longer supported. The documentation describing the feature should
be removed.

See the basic clock types in drivers/clk/clk-*.c for examples.
Part 5 - static initialization of clock data
For platforms with many clocks (often numbering into the hundreds) it
may be desirable to statically initialize some clock data. This
presents a problem since the definition of struct clk should be hidden
from everyone except for the clock core in drivers/clk/clk.c.
To get around this problem struct clk's definition is exposed in
include/linux/clk-private.h along with some macros for more easily
initializing instances of the basic clock types. These clocks must
still be initialized with the common clock framework via a call to
__clk_init.
clk-private.h must NEVER be included by code which implements struct
clk_ops callbacks, nor must it be included by any logic which pokes
around inside of struct clk at run-time. To do so is a layering
violation.
To better enforce this policy, always follow this simple rule: any
statically initialized clock data MUST be defined in a separate file
from the logic that implements its ops. Basically separate the logic
from the data and all is well.
Part 6 - Disabling clock gating of unused clocks
Part 5 - Disabling clock gating of unused clocks
Sometimes during development it can be useful to be able to bypass the
default disabling of unused clocks. For example, if drivers aren't enabling

To bypass this disabling, include "clk_ignore_unused" in the bootargs to the
kernel.
Part 7 - Locking
Part 6 - Locking
The common clock framework uses two global locks, the prepare lock and the
enable lock.
