Bindings are before their users. Order your patches correctly (see DT
submitting patches).

For what purpose? this should be answered here. Anyway you clocks for
handling clocks of clk controller.

Blank line. For what purpose?

Do not come with entirely different ordering than existing variants.

Look how this is called in upstream.

Why is this binding so different than existing ones? I expect uniformity
not rework of all properties every time you upstream new device.

Hm? But why? One blank line is enough.

Look at other bindings.

Node names should be generic. See also an explanation and list of
examples (not exhaustive) in DT specification:
