Hi Rob and thanks for your comments. I will change this commit message
for a possible v2 into this:

This adds the documentation to the compatible regulator-fixed-clock.
This binding is a special binding of regulator-fixed and adds the
ability to add a clock to regulator-fixed, so the regulator can be
enabled and disabled with that clock.
If the special compatible regulator-fixed-clock is used it is mandatory
to supply a clock.

The gpio property is valid with this compatible. I added regulator-
fixed-clock to regulator-fixed hence I also don't want to create a new
schema file.

With the above select statement I wanted to state clocks as required
when the compatible regulator-fixed-clock is given.

Thanks, this was exactly what I wanted to do.

Will do for a possible v2. I want to wait what Mark Brown says about the
addition in general, maybe I have to change all over how this speciality
is added into regulator subsystem and therefore also the binding will
change.
