[RFC] clk: add flags to distinguish xtal clocks

Add a flag that indicate whether the clock is a crystal or not. Since
no clocks set this flag right now, include an additional flag that
indicates whether the type is set or not. If the CLK_IS_TYPE_DEFINED
flag is not set, the value of the CLK_IS_TYPE_XTAL flag is undefined.
This ensures backwards compatibility.

Additionally, parse a new device tree binding in clk-fixed-rate to set
this flag.

I'm not familiar with the common clock framework and I'm not
entirely sure the flags can be used in such a way, but to me it looks
reasonable, since some clock consumers may need to know what type of
clock is being provided.

Specifically, the wl12xx firmware needs to know if the clock is XTAL
or not to handle the stabilization and boosts properly.

My main idea is that I need to pass this information in the device
tree definition of the clocks, so that the driver can pass this
information on to the firmware.

Please let me know if this looks ok or not. If not, please let me
know if you have any other ideas on how to solve my problem (of
knowing whether the clock attached to the WiLink chip is XTAL or not).
