Then the gate clocks that are fully contained within SYS_CTRL are
outputs of SYS_CTRL and gate clocks fully contained within CLOCK are
outputs of CLOCK. You should not use a phandle to SYS_CTRL from the
CLOCKS node so that you can pretend they are part of CLOCKS just because
that makes writing your driver easier. That said, obviously you can
share the routines for turning the gates on and off etc.

Cheers,
Conor.
