Yet, it's not, while, like you pointed at, the common clock framework
actually *is* usable for both DT and non-DT platforms at no cost.

The fact that AT91 isn't using the DT to retrieve its clock tree yet is
another story (but I believe that it's a work in progress).

No, to specify *any* clock, the common clock framework is the better
solution.
