As mentioned, in the code, can we use the standard fixed clock bindings here.
We don't actually care what the value is, but it might be nice to be able to
power down the clock if we are suspending or something..

Just use the optional regulator stuff and get rid of the bool.

As I asked in the code, are these a function of the wiring etc or are
they something we should really be leaving up to userspace (with a sensible
default).
