A bit of a side note on these names:

To make the binding as easy to understand as possible, I think it would
help to have every part of the clock-names reflected in corresponding
clock description:

- sysbypck:  presumably means system bypass clock
- mcbypck:   presumably means memory controller bypass clock


As it currently is in the patch, the "byp" part stays unexplained and
unmentioned in the descriptions.



Thanks,
Jonathan
