Just "qcom,hfpll" is not allowed by the bindings.

The problem is that it's actually unclear to me what "qcom,hfpll" was supposed 
to be currently. It was added originally for MSM8974 and friends (see git log) 
but then is currently only used by QCS404 while in QCS404 downstream msm-4.4 
(I think it was 4.4) I see different driver data than what's here.

So I wanted to just move what's used here to be qcs404-specific and then in an 
upcoming patch add a msm8974-specific compatible with different driver data.

Also wouldn't the "don't extend driver lists when not neccessary" mean using 
something like "qcom,msm1234-hfpll", "qcom,qcs404-hfpll", "qcom,hfpll" then? 
That was kind of my idea if some other SoC can reuse e.g. qcs404 data?
