So this explains the unexpected change in the bindings... but actually
it does not explain whether it is correct or not. Just because driver
does not use it, is not a proof that clocks are not there. In different
OS/implementation this DTS might break stuff, so basically it is ABI
break. DTS should describe the hardware fully, so if the clocks are
there, should be in DTS regardless of the driver.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
