The binding document should describe the "bam_clk" string in the
clock-names description.

It would be nice to expand EE to what it stands for, at least in the
error but possibly the binding too.

What are the differences between the two?

Is v1.4.1 an extension of v1.4.0?

Could you have the following in DTs:

  compatible = "qcom,bam-v1.4.1", "qcom,bam-v1.4.0";

Then you'd only need the v1.4.0 string in the driver for now.

Thanks,
Mark.
