Hi Yoshii-san,

Thank you for the patch.

(CC'ing LAMK as a generic CCF question follows)

What is the generally accepted practice when an IP core provides a large 
number of clocks, with either one register or one register bit dedicated to 
each clock ? Should each clock be described as one DT node, or should the IP 
core be described by a single DT node ?

I also see both platforms using CLK_OF_DECLARE and platforms calling a clock 
init function provided by drivers/clk/<platform>.c in the SoC setup code in 
arch/arm/. What is the preferred practice there ?
