i successful tested this patch on top of Shawn's for-next branch. The 
error message went away.

Just 2 ideas for a proper patch:

- short explaining comment in clk-imx6ul about the dummies

- instead of "dummy" for both interfaces, i suggest something like 
"enet1_ref_dummy" which makes investigation at 
/sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary easier

Thanks
Stefan
