Please move binding documents to the start of the series. It makes
things far easier to review.

Double vendor prefix?

What does "larb" mean? It would be nice for the intorductory paragraph
in this file to explain.

The names required _must_ be specified here, or clock-names is
pointless.

The clock names should be from the PoV of _this_ device (i.e. they
should be the names of the inputs) not from the PoV of the provider
(i.e. they should not be the names of the outputs from the provider).
