No, I dont think we should add temporary hacks to DT to work around
driver issues (I do think its a hack since the clock belongs to aemif
module not NAND flash).

An easier driver hack might be to not treat devm_clk_get() failure in
davinci_nand.c as catastrophic. It will safely fail in DT case and we
should get the clock in legacy boot case.

I think we are looking at a driver update dependency anyway.

Yes, I have access to those boards.
