The L2/Coherency fabric clock is called "nbclk" both in marvell's documentation
and in Documentation/device-tree/binding/clock/mvebu-core-clock.txt.

The 25 MHz clock is (very scarcely) called "refclk".

Okey, I've just sent a new patchset, on top of the previous (already
applied) work.

Feel free to comment on that.

Sebastian: Thanks a lot for suggesting this!
