If SPI is under l4per, then yes, a breakage is expected. This will cause 
a conflict with the existing hwmod data, and the new clock data, 
effectively disabling the IP clocks during boot. This patch only 
converts part of the DT data to the new format, and as such is only 
suitable for testing purposes.

I will provide a full data conversion for the DT file for 4.11-rc.

Yea thats a bug in this test patch. Same issue with other nodes. DT 
compiler isn't too picky about these so it works even with wrong node name.

cm_l4per is somewhat redundant right now, but we want to add 
clockdomains under that one in the future. Or, we could just add those 
directly under parent node also (cm2 in this case.)
