I just read v1 and got told use the clock framework...

I disagree completely. Tons of h/w blocks have the ability to select 
(internal to the block) from multiple clock sources. Making the block a 
clock provider to itself is completely pointless and an overkill, and 
we *never* do that. Any display controller or audio interface has 
mutiple clock sources as just 2 examples.

However, I don't see why you need the divider config in DT. Can't you 
figure out what divider you need based on input frequency? The output 
frequency should be fixed, right?
