The binding is generic and the clock defines global, so this should work
fine on the dt side of things. But how do we implement this?

Which set of clocks does the generic rpmcc actually provide?

Do you foresee that there will be an implementation of the generic rpmcc
or is it just a way to "standardize" the dt binding?
