I hope I have described the BG4CT HW clk/pll clearly, I really need your advice
about my proposal. The clk nodes in my proposal will finally look like:


                cpupll: cpupll {
                        compatible = "marvell,berlin-pll";
                        reg = <0x922000 0x14>
                        #clock-cells = <0>;
                        clocks = <&osc>;
                };

		mempll: mempll {
                        compatible = "marvell,berlin-pll";
                        reg = <0x940034 0x14>
                        #clock-cells = <0>;
                        clocks = <&osc>;
                };

                syspll: syspll {
                        compatible = "marvell,berlin-pll";
                        reg = <0xea0200 0x14>
                        #clock-cells = <0>;
                        clocks = <&osc>;
                };

		pllclk: pllclk {
                        compatible = "marvell,berlin4ct-pllclk";
                        reg = <0xea0710 4>
                        #clock-cells = <1>;
		};

                gateclk: gateclk {
                        compatible = "marvell,berlin4ct-gateclk";
                        reg = <0xea0700 4>;
                        #clock-cells = <1>;
                };

                clk: clk {
                        compatible = "marvell,berlin4ct-clk";
                        reg = <0xea0720 0x144>;
                        #clock-cells = <1>;
                        clocks = <&pllclk SYSPLLCLK>;
                };

Using the ccf clk-mux, there's no overlapping/repeating reg ranges any more.

If you want more BG4CT clk/pll details, please let me know.
