Please remove the placeholders, as there is nothing that depends on their
presence.

Please drop the audio and CAN clocks for now, as they are not used.

Please drop the PCI clock for now, as it is not used.

This should be used (see below).

Please sort nodes by unit-address (if present) per type, or alphabetically.

I prefer to see a real node for the serial console, so the system can at
least be boot tested to a console prompt.
Note that this requires adding a minimal board DTS, too.
