I'm not really thrilled how this is evolving with a node per provider. 
There's no reason you can't just add #clock-cells and #reset-cells to 
the parent firmware node.

I probably should have complained with the clocks node, but that's only 
pending for 5.9.

The bigger issue is this stuff is just trickling in one bit at a time 
which gives no context for review. What's next? Is it really a mystery 
as to what functions the firmware provides? You don't have to have a 
driver in place for every function.
