I am not sure how big of a problem the backwards compatible thingy
with DT is, in general we must not break it. What do you say Manish?

As a workaround, would it be possible to use
of_clk_get_from_provider() somehow to address the compatibility issue?
Or maybe there is another clock API that can help.

Kind regards
Uffe
