Sorry, I don't follow.


The name should be the name of the clock _input_ on the block described,
as should be listed in documentation for the i2c block. The name should
not vary with instance, and the name should not (necessarily) match the
_output_ of the provider. Surely there's documentation for the i2c block
that gives a name for the clock input(s)?

On a related note, I see that this doesn't follow the primecell clock
bindings, which seem to rely on "apb_pclk" being first in the list. I
see that other primecell device bindings don't follow that in dts or
drivers, so I'm not sure how to fix that brokenness.

Thanks,
Mark.
