Is this series breaking ABI? If yes, why not do what Maxime did for the
Allwinner/sunxi clocks and just fully convert over to a
one-node-per-clock-controller binding? This one-node-per-clock stuff is
pretty unfortunate, and if we're deprecating platforms (patch #1) then
now might be a good time to re-evaluate the whole thing.

Mike
