I might be wrong, but I vaguely recall AT91 (?) had this kind of massive 
clock tree description in DT and they then switched to much simpler 
clock description where the clock topology is encoded in the driver 
instead (like what iMX does right now). It might be worth having a look 
at that and the reasoning around that conversion.
