The patch just provides an alternative for clkdev mapping in case of DT.
Are you suggesting we move all *clock data* related to auxclks (and eventually
all clocks) into DT?
We have discussed this multiple times in the past, and moving 250 clock nodes
with each needing multiple register offsets, masks, shifts etc into DT makes it
completely un-readable. For me, having a way for devices to reference a clock that they
use for a device using DT makes sense, but not moving all clock data into dts files.
