I'm not strongly objecting, but I'd strongly prefer to go with two
drivers.

I don't really want to end up in the same case than with clk-sunxi.c,
which handles a lot of weird corner case for one particular clock,
while most of them are just a single-bit gate.

Especially when they have nothing in common, which is pretty much the
case here.
