We have defined a large number of clock devices. 
The comment of v3 is "Driver is also way too big for simple clock driver and I 
am surprised to see so many redundancies.". Therefore, we modified the clock 
driver code and moved the description of clock device from the driver to the DTS.

But, this comment is that don't ever bring nodes per clock. We’ve run into some
trouble and aren’t sure which approach aligns better with community guidelines. 
Could you share your advice or suggestions on the best way forward?

I would be grateful for your reply.

Regards,
Xuyang Dong
