> The clock and reset blocks are handled by different subsystems and mainta=
iners (clk vs reset). Putting the clock provider on the parent syscon node =
would mean a single driver has to register both the reset controller and th=
e clock provider on one device, which doesn't fit well.
There are many examples of clock and reset drivers sharing the same
node, by using platform_driver for one (usually clk) and
auxiliary_driver for the other (usually reset).
