it could, but of course the non-dt platforms would not be able to use it in 
this case.

So I guess, we could get rid of this dt binding, implement the clkout handling 
in the pinctrl driver for dt platforms, but use the platform-driver this 
binding described for the time we're still handling non-dt s3c24xx machines.
