Hey Jonathan,

I just heard back from the firmware team. Apparently, there is rationale
behind including the clock bindings as part of the _DSD_ - it is because
apparently MS Windows can also run on this platform and it expects those
bindings to be there to configure the clocks on this platform. If they are
changed, it will break that capability, rendering it kind of moot to use
the ACPI boot which is intended to be universal across OSes. (I also wonder
if NetBSD uses the same bindings as well; that OS can boot via ACPI boot
without much issue on this platform.)
