Hence, the more specific compatible. Having the generic one is still 
useful.

This doesn't sound like the clock input signal name...

How can other DWMAC blocks not have these clocks? The glue can't really 
add these clocks. It could combine them into one or a new version of 
DWMAC could have a different number of clock inputs. So if there is 
variation here, then some of the bindings are probably wrong. I guess 
the only change I'm suggesting is possibly moving these into common 
binding doc.
