This breaks ABI and most importantly the clk measure feature on new kernel
and old DTs. So instead keep it as-is for current platforms and try to
add this for new platforms.

But the fact you need clkmsr-reg-v2 means you at least need to add a generic
compatible for v2 register map and drop this property.

Overall, I'm not a great fan of this, it moves data to DT and duplicates
the strings in _all_ board DTs, which is worse in fine.
