well, for some other subdevices, a yaml is already in the tree
and Krzysztof recently added a R-By to another one.

But if the clocks should not have a node, then it is obvious.
What would be the route to conversion here: Is a conversion
of mfd/twl-family.txt without specifying subnodes ok for the first step,
maybe with additionalProperties: yes?

yes, it is. It was inspired by the clk-palmas driver:
$ grep palmas.*32 arch/arm/boot/dts/ti/omap/omap5-*
arch/arm/boot/dts/ti/omap/omap5-board-common.dtsi:
clk32kgaudio: palmas_clk32k@1 {
arch/arm/boot/dts/ti/omap/omap5-board-common.dtsi:
	compatible = "ti,palmas-clk32kgaudio";

Well, we have the CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED, so if we use #clock-cells = 1,
an unused clock will not be touched by the kernel, right?

hmm, we have child nodes there for every subdevice in that family,
even if I doubt it is totally technically required.
So why should the clk device be an exception?
