yes, I think the base clk got from clk framework shouldn't
make any difference with that from register[15:8] if implemented. And
we now decide how to get base clk in a certain variant driver which
menas we know that this variant would never implement register[15:8], so
it looks fine for your patch with only a nit that we should make sure
we toggle up the COMMON_CLK. I saw your v2.1 to deal with it, so I think
it's okay now to add
