Why the _node suffix on everything?

This seems like a lot of compatible strings. I took a very quick look at
the pic32mz reference manual and it seems like all of those clock nodes
are on-chip, correct? The only thing that would be off-chip would the
crystal that supplies Posc (OSC1 and OSC2) as well as the (mandatory?)
32k clock for Sosc (SOSCI and SOSCO).

Since most of those clocks are on-chip, can't you just group them all
into a single clock generator node? E.g. everything that's in the same
address range probably belongs in one node, the USB PLL should be a
fixed-rate clock stuffed inside of the USB host controller DT node, etc.

More to the point this DT binding description + driver is clearly
following the Device Tree Data Driven™ way of doing things, which isn't
necessarily a good thing. Putting hardware details into drivers (in the
form of static struct initialization) is a good thing.

Generally it is bad to put register-level details into DT. Static clock
data is where this level detail belongs.

Does this change from board to board or from chip-to-chip? Should it
belong in DT or in the driver?

Essentially all of the above information can live in the driver as
static data. Then you can create a single clock generator node like you
see in the qcom binding:

An example from Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/qcom,gcc.txt and
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-apq8064.dtsi:

        gcc: clock-controller@...000 {
                compatible = "qcom,gcc-apq8064";
                reg = <0x00900000 0x4000>;
                #clock-cells = <1>;
                #reset-cells = <1>;
        };

If you have off-chip fixed-rate or fixed-factor clocks (such as XTALs or
the USBPLL in your USB IP block) then go ahead and put those in Device
Tree. Board specific details belong in DT (and we make exception for
simple fixed-rate clocks like your USBPLL one).

Mike
