This patch isn't going to help if the reader hasn't read that paragraph, so reordering things isn't providing more clarity. If anything, I would clarify the description of the example by indicating what parts of the example we're talking about when explaining, i.e. In this example the <&pll 2> clock is set as parent of the <&clkcon 0> clock because the first clock specifier in the assigned-clocks property is <&clkcon 0> and that matches the first clock specifier in the assigned-clock-parents property. Similarly the <&pll 2> clock is assigned a frequency value of 460800 Hz because the second frequency in the assigned-clock-rates property is 460800 Hz and that matches the second clock specifier in the assigned-clocks property <&pll 2>.
