The composite clock looks like it would indeed simplify the code. If that's
the case I would prefer that solution.

Please also remember to update the CPG DT bindings documentation to add the
rcan clock and the USB input clock. On that subject, do you know what other
clocks derive from the USB input clock ? The documentation isn't clear.

I'm also a bit puzzled by V2H that, according to the datasheet, lacks the
RANCKCR register, but has a RCAN clock with a dedicated RCAN divider in the
CPG diagram. I think Geert and Morimoto-san are investigating this.
