Yup is badly needed. Right now we have strange hidden dependencies
in multiple subsystems to enable a single device driver:

1. Add a clock alias for a device
2. Add hwmod entries for a device
3. Add dts entries for a device
4. Add a device driver

We really should only need steps 3 and 4 to do that, hopefully
this takes out #1 on the list above.

Regards,

Tony
