I mean bindings for the devices using these clocks. Each of them should
list among its properties something like

|Mandatory properties:
|  clocks:	One phandle and clock specifier for xxxx
|  clock-names:	The name of this clock, must be "xxxx"

Of course if we decide to make it an anonymous clock, we still need to
document the fact that the clock is required.

Ok. FWIW, I think the best way to stage the clock updates (if the decision
is to make them anonymous) would be to duplicate all the clocks in question
in a first patch, and then submit changes for each driver to the respective
subsystem maintainers with a patch based on the first changeset.

Once all the drivers are converted (i.e. the following merge window), we can
remove the obsolete entries.
