Per comments on the previous patches, this isn't the right way to go.

Is there a real need to rename the label this points at?

If you did do this, the other node should have been removed...

Better would be to add a real clock provider which communicates with the
VC firmware so it can dynamically get the actual rate.

I chose 100000000 as the clock frequency to match the default frequency
for this clock as set by the VC firmware. Changing the DT in no way
affects how the clock is actually programmed in HW.

Perhaps this default rate has changed since I wrote the DT? That'd be
annoying since it would mean changes to SW-visible behavior of the firmware.
