In fact, the clock index >= 190 makes linux hang on boot, waiting with
EPROBE_DEFER for every device's clock, because the sysclk driver errors
out with EINVAL (jh7110_sysclk_get()).

The JH7110 has 6 blocks of 64k iomem in that functional area:
{SYS,STG,AON} x {CRG,SYSCON}. None of these has 190 clocks.
The good news: the current DTS, as proposed here and in U-Boot master,
provides nodes for all 6 entities. The bad news is that the clock
assignments to those nodes and their numbering is messed up.

AFAICT PLL{0,1,2} _are_ generated in SYS_SYSCON and thus U-Boot gets it
wrong, in addition to the erroneous DTS.
