If I apply the DTSI+DTS, all my builds will start failing. The
linux-next (since Sylwester's tree is included) should build fine, but
my tree won't be buildable anymore. Then arm-soc pulls my tree and gets
said because it does not build. Later, Linus will be unhappy if he pulls
arm-soc (thus mine) before clock tree.

Other solution, instead of using raw numbers, is to copy-paste the clock
macros you use directly in DTSI and do not include the clock header.
This actually might be cleaner choice - changes will be limited to one
place in DTSI.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
