I'm expecting (well, hoping) that at some point we'll want to connect
clock trees between devices and it seems likely that clkdev will be
pressed into service for that since it's how we're binding clocks at the
minute.  It may be that we come up with some other scheme for making
those connections but as we appear to be defining a new scheme for
binding clocks together anyway it seems sensible that we should at least
be considering that case.
