but the backwards compatibility is fully maintained - that is the main reason
behind the change. the new stuff is that instead of hardcoding the
names in the source - like it is being done on the msm8916- we provide
the clocks in the dts node (a cleaner approach with the obvious
benefit of allowing new users to be added without having to modify the
sources).
