Yes, after rereading the patch with this in mind I agree that having
the GPR offset on DT directly is IMO the better approach than an
abstract ID.

One other thing I noticed is that we probably need some property to
encode if the clock is supplied by an external clkgen, or if the clock
is provided by the i.MX. Hardcoding this in the driver will lead to DT
backward compatibility headaches later on if someone decides to build a
board with the clock provided from the i.MX.
