Hm, are these in the same clock controller (device, not driver)? If yes,
then please order them numerically. Pretty often one binding header have
IDs for several clock controllers, so then it's a different case.

Not *quite* sure what you mean by device. There is only one SoC that
this header applies to, but in the actual design the MSSPLL is in one
block, the RTC divider in another and CLK_CPU -> CLK_CFM in a third.

By device I meant here part of Soc responsible for clocks which could be
called a self-containing block. Pretty often such block maps to a Linux
"struct device" or some wrapper around it (e.g. clock-controller
device). For example such "self-containing block" has device node in DTS.

Judging by your description, these will be different blocks / device
nodes in DTS?

The way it's implemented is a bit interconnected and none of the three
blocks would satisfy a "self contained" constraint. Eg. The rtcref
divider's control reg sits between two registers responsible for the
CLK_CPU -> CLK_CFM clocks but it's input clock mux is in the same sub-block as the MSSPLL.

I guess its better put that each of the three are sub-blocks of a self
contained clock controller for the mss core complex. There are several
other clock domains on the chip which would have distinct clock
controllers & may be added to this header in the future, if letting
Linux control them makes any sense. For example, clocks in (and used for
the clocking of) the fpga fabric.

This controller is a single node in the device tree. Sounds like
reordering it numerically makes the most sense then - I'll resend
tomorrow if that's okay.

Thanks,
Conor.
