So Mark is not happy with this actually, for a few reasons:
1. The driver was already merged a couple versions back, and
we have been using the dcdc-freq binding.
2. Furthermore, the dcdc-freq binding has nothing to do with
the common clock framework. Using the clock-frequencies
binding implies it does.
3. The change from a integer value to a boolean flag for
dcdc-mode makes it less capable, i.e. the kernel can't
just accept the current state of the hardware, which
should be a valid option for regulators to not screw
up the system accidentally.
Any chance you could merge the previous version (v8)?

ChenYu
