As you pointed out before, we can't combine the global-utilities node and
the fixed-clock node into one node, because these two nodes have different
properties which are not compatible each other.

This tiny driver is still needed to get the clock frequency from parent node.
That is what I am going to change with current driver.
But we still need to add the fixed-clock node in order to provide clock source
to PLL nodes.

The device tree makes that quite clear. Each PLL has several output which
MUX node can take from. It is not a runtime decision.
