Clock trees are likely to be linked somewhere - an external clock chip
that drives the main clock input on the SoC, or an SoC clock output
that drives a chip with an internal clock tree. Domains would have to
be dynamically managed to ensure two clocks from different clock chips
that become linked are moved under the same clock lock. Probably
easier to keep a global lock.
