There is a non-zero probability I could have missed some additional
clocks defined in the DW XPCS IP-core databooks or there are some
vendor-specific clock sources we can't predict. Moreover the new
IP-core releases may have the clock sources list extended. So the
magic may happen.)

Ok. Since the order-based constraint is strongly preferable, then
there is nothing to discuss. I'll make sure the order is defined.
Thanks for review.
