I think the idea behind is:
- create a way from silicon vendor to export their clock mapping with
automatic exportation
- reduce the copy and paste code across the drivers
- avoid code duplication

Is the binding a way to solve this problem? If you don't want one node
per clk style bindings, did you still think that the way
to go is totally wrong?
