in my previous review I criticized that the post-dividers are not
mentioned in the description.
it's not part of v2 but after having a closer look again I think it's
not a big issue:
these CPU post-dividers are all marked as read-only and have a comment
that "ROM monitor code" manages them.

disclaimer for my "reviewed-by":
- I don't have access to the datasheet so I can't verify if the clock
tree from this patch is correct
- the latest buildroot code with G12A support
(buildroot_openlinux_kernel_4.9_fbdev_20180706) doesn't have proper
names for all clocks
- this review is based on my experience with Meson8* (where Linux also
manages the CPU clock, unlike on the GX SoCs where it's managed in
firmware)
