Cool, this is much closer to what I had in mind. I guess the clock
domain DT binding can be marked as "Unstable - ABI compatibility may be
broken in the future" since the binding isn't really fleshed out yet.

I do not want them to live there permanently. There has been some talk
about drivers/syscon/ or whatever for a while now, but this clkdm stuff
is also not a good candidate for that since none of the clkdm bits here
are really fleshed out with an eye towards a reusable core framework.
Maybe someday though...

I guess I could take it into drivers/clk/ti/ on a temporary basis, with
a commitment to move it out when the right driver infrastructure for
clock domains comes along.

Mike
