So Mark is not happy with this actually, for a few reasons:

1. The driver was already merged a couple versions back, and
   we have been using the dcdc-freq binding.

2. Furthermore, the dcdc-freq binding has nothing to do with
   the common clock framework. Using the clock-frequencies
   binding implies it does.

3. The change from a integer value to a boolean flag for
   dcdc-mode makes it less capable, i.e. the kernel can't
   just accept the current state of the hardware, which
   should be a valid option for regulators to not screw
   up the system accidentally.

Any chance you could merge the previous version (v8)?

ChenYu
