I happen to dread these kind of patchsets these days. There's added
dependencies across trees just because a defined name for the clock
number is added to a header file.

I much prefer to use numerical clocks for one release, and then once
everything is in, switch over to the defines in the DTS.

That way there are no dependencies, no need to setup a shared branch
for a simple 3-line patch, etc.

So, mind respinning the DTS piece?

Thanks!
