It's kind of a wildcard for a group of platforms
It stands for the 3 PXA27x SoCs I'm aware of : PXA270, PXA271, and PXA272. The
difference between them is different core frequency range and embedded RAM.

OK, then let's go for "marvell,pxa270-qci".

An output clock.

It's a good point. I'll try to add that too. The little trouble I have is that
the PXA clocks are not _yet_ in device-tree. Putting a clock description will
make this patch dependant on the clock framework patches [1], right ?

This is another clock, an input clock, independant of the former one. This is
the clock actually fed to make this IP block work. This is dependant on the
clock framework patches [1].

Cheers.
