Ah ok..will add the baseline compatible binding. But this also sounds
like there's clean-up work that can be done that I have already
_promised_ Pawell I would do for the next cycle. Along with finding
common attributes for the clocks, I think we can also move all the
platform compatible entries into a single of_device_id struct.
