We had adopted this proposal in version 2 previously, but as noted in
the discussion linked below, Krzysztof had suggested to avoid using the
clock rate in the clock names when defining the constraints for them.
However I do agree that we should keep the interface for IPQ9574
unchanged and instead use a generic clock name to support the newer
SoCs.

Request Krzysztof to provide his comments as well, on whether we can
follow your suggested approach to avoid breaking ABI for IPQ9574.

Krzysztof, should the bindings be improved-through-breaking, or should


Unfortunately not, you should not change them for such reason.

there simply be a new YAML with un-suffixed entries, where new platforms
would be added down the line?


Either new binding file or here with allOf:if:then differences per
variant. Depends on readability.


OK. Thank you for the clarification.


Best regards,
