But the input and debounce clock is only for the RTC itself right? So it
should be local to the driver and doesn't need to be made available to
the other drivers

Either way, what this list is must be documented.

You mentioned that series several times already and never provided an
explanation for what it was supposed to be doing except fixing
everything. What's the general plan for that series?
