Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: arm: Add secure-clocks binding description

for clocks handled exclusively or shared by secure and non-secure
worlds.

+- secure-clocks : specifies the Phandle list secure world shall use
+  for the related clocks whereas property "clocks" specifies the
+  clock Phandle list non-secure shall use for the that clocks.
+  This configuration can apply for example when a hardware clock is
+  shared by the 2 worlds and the hardware implements a specific interface
+  for each world, i.e.:
+
+  clocks = <&clk DMA_NS>;	/* NS relies on clock handle DMA_NS */
+  secure-clocks = <&clk DMA_S>;	/* S relies on clock handle DMA_S */
+
+  Another example where use of "clocks" and "secure-clocks" can apply
+  is when hardware implements a clock that secure and non-secure must
+  share, as a shared GPIO bank clock, and secure world relies on clock
+  device driver whereas non-secure world relies on a software service
+  exposed by secure world as SCMI clock device. I.e.:
+
+  clocks = <&scmi_clk 2>;	/* NS relies on SCMI resources */
+  secure-clocks= <&clk 5>;	/* S accesses the SoC reset interfaces */
