I guess it comes from some early Marvell BSP code, if there is no
issues with the name, e.g. something already depends on "nfc", feel
free to rename it to something more meaningful.

Ok, then both bits should be dealt with accordingly, i.e. rename
"smemc" to "nfcecc" and use it in the corresponding dts node.

If this clk_gate just disables a clock that is fed into another
gateable clock module, I can live with removing it - although I
still think it is best to leave the clk_gate in place and pick
another name that does not collide with any other clock name.

Ok, thanks a lot!
