See my other comments on the clock nodes. If these are hardware properties,
just leave them as numbers in the DT, the header files are only used to
establish an interface between the binding and the driver in case there
is no sensible way to express which one you have.

Is this the actual port number that is known to be non-maskable?
How about adding a property to the clock node to mark the logical
controller nonmaskable (in case you go for #clock-cells=2)?

For the #clock-cells=3 case, you should probably just hardcode this
in the driver based on the compatible string.
