A few may break indeed. However, there are very few clocks that are
actually exported out of the SoC (2 to 4) and they are very rarely used
(usually only one to clock an audio codec).
The other affected dts are the boards using the flexcom and my opinion
is that we should probably get the flexcom stuff back in the dtsi
anyway..
So yes, some out of tree board dts may break but they are pretty easy to
fix. Also, the DT ABI compatibility is not broken so I don't expect too
much breakage overall.
