Rob, kindly note this series number is deprecated and I have sent v3
version some time back. Here's the link:

Yes, I took motivation from sp805 watchdog(primecell) while resolving DT
conflicts. I found LG and amd seattle platform with single clock in DT
for which I have sent patches. Link is below:

Moreover, I observed that clocks and clock-names are not required
properties for pl022. I am wondering reason behind the same when you
first made changes. Any specific reason not adding them which I am not
aware of or it just got missed?
