Maybe I'm mistaken, but as far as I can tell this is adding the
dependency on controller level and only works because Qualcomm
has multiple separate clock controllers. In the Rockchip design
there is only one platform device.

Note, that the original downstream code from Rockchip actually used
pm_clk infrastructure by moving these clocks to separate platform
devices. I changed this when upstreaming the code, since that leaks
into DT and from DT point of view there should be only one clock
controller.

Greetings,
