Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: clock: Add nvmem-clock
Add bindings for a fixed-rate clock that retrieves its rate from an
NVMEM provider. This allows to store clock settings in EEPROM or EFUSE
or similar device.
Component shortages lead to boards being shipped with different clock
crystals, based on what was available at the time. The clock frequency
was written to EEPROM at production time. Systems can adapt to a wide
range of input frequencies using the clock framework, but this required
us to patch the devicetree at runtime or use some custom driver. This
provides a more generic solution.

Changes in v2:
Changed "fixed-clock" into "nvmem-clock" in dts example
Add minItems:1 to nvmem-cell-names

+description:
+ Provides a clock rate from NVMEM. Typical usage is that the factory places a
+ crystal on the board and writes the rate into an EEPROM or EFUSE. If some math
+ is required, one can add a fixed-factor clock using this clock as input.

+ description:
+ Reads clock-frequency and optionally clock-accuracy from an NVMEM provider

+ or 8 bytes.
