Got it, I will model it as:

rct_syscon(compatible include "ambarella, <SoC>-clock"...)
| peripheral A
| peripheral B
| ...


One more question, two driver models:
a. compatible = "ambarella, <SoC>-clock", handle all clocks(pll, div, mux, composite) in single driver.
b. compatible = "ambarella, <SoC>-pll-clock", "ambarella, <SoC>-composite-clock", "ambarella, <SoC>-div-clock"...... 
    and implement a driver for each of them.

Which driver model is preferred?
