After investigating this, it looks like the USB_EXTAL is already
referenced from the device tree and it's referenced by the USB3 Phy.
The SoC calls it usb_extal_clk.  Since the phy driver is calling
devm_clk_get() it looks like i could just redefine the clocks of
usb3_phy0 to point to the versaclock instead of usb_extal_clk.

The other option is to use a similar method I proposed for the audio
reference clock and redefine the usb_extal_clk as a fixed
fixed-factor-clock.

Do you have a preference as to which direction I go?
