The problem with this series is it breaks an old kernel with new dt. You 
can partially mitigate that with stable kernel backport, but IMO keeping 
the old name is not a burden to maintain.

And given RK3399 is widely used including by me, we should not be 
breaking compatibility.

So allow for ref in addition to vpll if you like, but only use 'ref' for 
new users. And add a comment in the schema to that effect.
