With the exception of clock-output-names and gpio-hogs, we do not define
how the output looks like in the provider bindings.

I also don't understand how this maps to channels and what "device
drives a clock" means. Plus how this is not deducible from the compatible...

So many questions.

And your driver code confirms that this looks like misrepresenting
consumer properties.

Best regards,
