I believe this is a "functional" clock. It it is a reference for the USB
signals. I'm not sure exactly what the purpose of this clock is, since I
do not have access to the databook for this IP. I considered using
"clock-frequency", but I am concerned about ambiguity because there is a
second "suspend" clock which is also a "functional" clock. The latter
clock appears to be used when the PHY is shut down (and not necessarily
corresponding to Linux's notion of a suspended device). If it is
necessary in the future to configure that clock on ACPI platforms (e.g.
to set GCTL.PWRDNSCALE) I think it is clear what the property name would
be (snps,susp-clock-frequency-hz).
