Hi Conor. Looking at downstream, I was not able to find these clocks, though
I admit that I'm not familiar enough with the downstream mess to be 100%
confident.

From what I can tell, the BCM21664 arch/arm/mach-hawaii/clock.c (e.g. [1])
doesn't contain any mention of uartb4, only uartb, uartb2 and uartb3.
And similarly, for the BCM281XX arch/arm/mach-capri/clock_capri.c (e.g. [2])
I wasn't able to find any mention of dmac, only dmac_mux_apb and dma_axi
(though these two don't seem to be supported on mainline yet).

Judging by that and the fact that mainline Linux or the dt-bindings includes
don't mention these clocks either, I would say the old txt bindings document
was the wrong one.

The old clock-output-name table also didn't match with the dt-bindings include
it was supposedly describing - for example, BCM281XX_MASTER_CCU_USB_IC is
defined as 4, not 5 as the old table stated.
