Tero has this included in his clkctrl series and there's one typo
fix needed where the doc still says #clock-cells = <4> instead of <2>.

I suggest let's wait a bit on this and let's try to get the clkctrl
driver parts into next early after v4.12-rc1 if no issues.

It seems the clkctrl series clock driver part is pretty much
ready to go, the remaining issues seem to be in the hwmod code.

Tony
