OTOH by having those settings in device tree would ensure the clock
tree is set correctly, regardless of the firmware. There is only one
correct clock parent for these devices, so the kernel couldn't do any
harm. I'd say it never worked in practice to rely on the bootloader
to configure these things, and one could say the firmware has been
broken in general with regards to this issue.
