No size is needed.

When I sent the patch v1, there is a binding document with it. But I missed
It in the patch v3, so when patch v3 got merged, the binding document didn't get merged.
I will make the binding go upstream first next time.

The Linux common clock framework is not ARM specific. Any other arch can use it.
In fact, this clock driver is the first one that use common clk on PPC arch.
I will get the ack from you guys next time. I hope it doesn't make me wait too long.

It is sub-clock node, is it really necessary to think about compatibility?
I think that's the node clockgen's responsibility.

Ok, I will change the compatible string.
Do you think "fsl,ppc-core-*" is ok?
