Ok. One general comment is that it would be nice if the bindings for all
the nodes that are introduced included 'clocks' properties and also
maybe 'clock-names' properties for the clocks that are consumed by each
node. Right now, we hide those details from DT and rely on the string
names to hook the clk tree up for us. That sort of prevents us from
moving away from string easily, so I would just throw the clocks into
the binding right now and always have them there just in case we want to
use the binding to figure out the hierarchy in the future.

I've been thinking we need to do something similar for the gcc and other
nodes for any clks they use, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Otherwise the patches look mostly ok to me. Not sure I'll have any other
comments.
