Right, these were roughly my findings as well, but I should have
written them down, at least in the commit message.

So shall the binding be explicit:
1) Most SoCs required exactly one clock, the 24 MHz HOSC.
2) The F1C100s requires exactly one clock, the 32KHz LOSC.
3) R329/D1 require two clocks with clock-names?

Or do you want to collapse 1) and 2) into one relaxed case? Still not
entirely sure what "LOSC / 32 KHz" means for the F1C100 (32768 or 32000
Hz), or where it really comes from, but it does not seem to matter.

FreeBSD, Xen and U-Boot don't care about clocks at all, and Linux
always uses the first clock and just enables it, so we should be good
either way.

Oh, right, I missed that.
