Yeah, I never said that existing dts are perfect ;)

If you feel like fixing this, I suggest to put clocks property in
SoC dtsi. I am sure Gregory can confirm this, but there is no other
clock possible for Armada 370/XP's serial IP.

But anyway, I checked drivers/clk/mvebu/armada-xp.c and 250MHz is TCLK
which can be referenced as <&coreclk 0>.

If it is 88e1318 the compatible is "marvell,88e1318" then. I usually
look at u-boot messages which sometimes reveal the PHY used. If that
is not sufficient, you can read PHY ID 1/2 (SMI address 2 and 3)
registers and go looking for model numbers.

Above two properties define that reg properties below "clocks" node
have 1 address cell and no size. As it is usually just an unsorted list
of oscillators and clock generators and no "bus", there is no
"addressing" of that devices.

No addressing, no reg property, no #address-cells/#size-cells required.

Ah, it is just a name. No need to backport this.
