Can you let me know how it breaks sound clock / module stop
so that I can come up with a fix

as this device-tree change is only local, I will move 'adg' clock to 
'last' of clocks,
when I submit it.

SMSTPCR922 controls input of two clocks "S0D1ϕ" and "S0D4ϕ",
"S0D4ϕ" is input to BRGA,
"S0D1ϕ" is input to avb_counter8

I agree, besides avb_counter8 there are other clocks which need to be 
added as you have mentioned,
in this patch-set, I only added avb_counter8, because I want to keep the 
patch-set simple,
other clocks can be added later.

avb_counter8 is registered as formal clock is because,
there is use case that EAVB-IF may use avb_div8, and avb_counter8 is 
input to avb_div8.
if keeps avb_counter8 'internal', I am not sure how EAVB-IF can set 
clock rate for avb_counter8

yes, EAVB driver only needs to get 'avb_adg_sync[]' clock,
and avb_adg_sync clock is child clock of audio_clk_div3 / avb_div8
