We discussed mostly offline, after I gave my R-b tag.

I checked with Qcom on the use of "ref" clock in both PCIe and PHY nodes.
It turned out that both nodes indeed need the "ref" clock, but not the
GCC.*CLKREF that comes out of GCC.

GCC.*CLKREF is only needed by the PHY node since PHY uses it for it's internal
logic. For PCIe node, RPMH_CXO_CLK should be used as "ref" clock since it is
used by the PCIe IP internally. This behavior applies to other peripherals like
UFS, USB as well with same inconsistency in DT.

So we need to fix this for those peripherals also. I can take up PCIe and UFS,
and someone needs to fix USB.

And for this patch, "ref" clock needs to be added to SM8150.

Thanks Dmitry for pointing this out mess!
