Yes, you are right. But if I am reading the original  Freescale driver and the
reference manual correctly, the second clock is always active.
Section "72.3.1.1 Clocks" from the reference manual [1] reads:
"SRTC runs on two clock sources, high frequency peripherals clock and low frequency
timers clock. The high frequency peripheral IP clock is used by the SRTC peripheral bus
interface, control and status registers. The low frequency 32.768 kHz clock is the
always-active clock used by the SRTC timers..."

That's why I would only include one clock . Should I change this?

The rtc for which this series adds support is embedded within a function block called
"Secure Real Time Clock". This driver doesn't utilize all of the hardware features by
now. But maybe someone else wants to extend the functionalities, later.
For that possibility I wanted to name the node "srtc". Should I still change this?

I believe you have a much better understanding of what should be done here. I don't
want to argue with you, just thought you might not had that information. So if I am
wrong just tell me and I will change it without further "complaining".

Thank you for taking the time,
Patrick
