Fine, I beleve that the root node would be okay then, or some other carefully named node in root, if the clock is not internal to any chip. > > If this is external oscillator then it is not part of RP1 and you cannot > put it inside just to satisfy your drivers.

Unfortunately I don't have the documentation (schematics or other info) about how these two clocks (pclk and hclk) are arranged, but I'm trying to get some insight about that from various sources. While we're waiting for some (hopefully) more certain info, I'd like to speculate a bit. I would say that they both probably be either external (just like xosc), or generated internally to the RP1: If externals, I would place them in the same position as xosc, so root node or some other node under root (eg.: /rp1-clocks) If internals, I would leave them just where they are, i.e. inside the rp1 node Does it make sense?
