I am sorry, but this is one big mess. Hardware is one. I understand that
Linux drivers can be entirely different but here - and in the past with
few clocks - the hardware description keeps changing depending on the
wishes of developers. That's not how bindings and DTS work. This suggest
that DTS is being pushed to satisfy driver needs, not to properly
describe the hardware. I am sorry, but hardware does not change.

Best regards,
