Given we already have a common way of describing clocks, I think it
makes sense to use it -- people already understand the common bindings,
and it's less code to add add to the kernel. I don't think the fact
these clocks are internal should prevent us from describing them as we
would an external clock.
Perhaps Mike Turquette [Cc'd] has an opinion on the matter.
