Hello Martin,

Thank you so much for the review, I really appreciate it!
Please find my comments below.

Ah, that's a good catch. Since the system clock is set up by the BootROM
code, all sys_* dividers and gates should be read-only. I'll make sure
to change that in the next version.

I've shared my thoughts about it in the bindings thread. Please take a
look.

Indeed, this is a similar situation to what we have with the inputs and
clocks of the CPU and Audio clock controllers. It seems like there is
only one option here: we should mark it with a TODO tag...

Sure, I'll make the change in v16. In my opinion, we should remove the
CLK_SET_RATE_NO_REPARENT flag from all RTC related clock objects,
including PWM, regardless of the outcome of the Heiner discussion. Based
on our IRC talk, the decision has more pros than cons -
