personally I think the danger of introducing unsuitable bindings/precedents
for a clock controller before it is fully understood is higher.
I'd just rename the clock above to something like dummy130m like sunxi also
does for example, to reflect its unfinished state and when the clock controller
is present later on change the supplying clock of the timer.
Or maybe I'm overlooking something here :-)
