I think if anything, the binding document(s) should be updated to
describe that apb_pclk is referred to by name, and the names of the
other clocks should be described in the specific device bindings. We can
then modify the drivers which grab clock 0 to explicitly grab the first
clock by name, and backwards compatibility should not be broken.
I don't believe any other OS has implemented the common clock bindings,
and we've never supported the binding as described. Let's correct the
de-facto standard into a standard by decree.
Thanks,
Mark.
