clock paths frequencies.

+Amlogic Internal Clock Measurer
+===============================
+
+The Amlogic SoCs contains an IP to measure the internal clocks.
+The precision is multiple of MHz, useful to debug the clock states.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Shall contain "amlogic,meson-gx-clk-measure"
+- reg: base address and size of the Clock Measurer register space.
+
+Example:
+	clock-measure@8758 {
+		compatible = "amlogic,meson-gx-clk-measure";
+		reg = <0x0 0x8758 0x0 0x10>;
+	};

What a simple yet useful debug tool.

This doesn't really look like its own block though. Can't the parent 
device instantiate the driver for this?

As weird as it seems, on the GX family the registers are not on a aligned boundary, but yes it's its own block.
On newer SoCs, they have a more aligned register address, with the exact same register set.
