If we're going to model the hardware then the binding should not use the CPU phandles in "clock-master" or "dvfs-master". The correct thing to model for a given CPU is which clock consumes. It's not accurate to say that one CPU is the "master", at least not in this context. A previous approach tried to compare struct clk pointers, which is a bad idea since those are just cookies and should not be deref'd by drivers. However a similar approach would be to compare the phandle, right?
