This is not really what I had in mind...

This IP has 2 parents, and only two parents. The mapping between the
IPs should be done in the driver itself, not in the DT where it is
very error prone and barely readable.

And note that I never have expected you to use clk-simple-gates
either. This is a complicated clock, unlike the other we've seen so
far, it definitely deserves a driver of its own.

Thanks!
Maxime
