Each SoC version had different registers within the PMC node (even
though key components such as the OS timer and reset control kept the
same offsets and function). So this really should be a SoC-versioned
enum rather than a single "compatible", as they were never really
mutually compatible (despite what current DTs say).

#address-cells and #size-cells are automatically required once the
subnodes have regs, so it seems that this whole section could become
just "clocks: true" with no particular loss of meaning.

> +    additionalProperties: true

If the PMC binding ends up separate from the clock control bindings
(which I'm somewhat skeptical of, see [1]), shouldn't the subnodes of
this clocks node be explicitly specified to follow that binding? The
fixed 25 MHz reference clock is not part of the PMC and doesn't belong
there (despite what current device trees contain), but the rest do.

No improvements. Which part was confusing? Or let's rephrase, from where
did you take such syntax?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
