I would not call it a dummy clock. Its representing something physically
present. Just call it "fixed rate clock" ?

Here too, like David suggested, it will be nice to register it both for
DT and non-DT case. With that I think your driver will be simple too
since you dont have to worry about the case when refclkpn is not supplied.

Since all supported boards use 100 Mhz refclk anyway, I would drop the
machine check and just do:

/* All existing boards use 100MHz SATA refclkpn */
unsigned long sata_refclkpn = 100 * 1000 * 1000;

ret = da850_register_sata_refclk(sata_refclkpn);

It should then be easy for the odd board (when it comes) to set
sata_refclkpn to a different value.

Thanks,
