That is a more general issue with the clock driver (and there
have been already some discussions around this when implementing
the PWM clock.

So if someone with a better idea how to keep those dt-binding includes
synchronized with the definitions used by the code step forward and
propose a better solution how to get that implemented?

I guess there will be a few more occurrences of clocks that are
currently not defined, which will need to get introduced in the future
PWM and PCM were just the last in this series.

Thanks,
