Please consistently spell it S900 here and below - it looks especially
odd when you upper-case all other words.

What about "actions,s900-cmu" as in Clock Management Unit? (manual
version 1.0 section 1.5, page 6)

As Rob pointed out, missing here.

Spaces vs. tab indentation.

Regarding the question in the dts patch, I think cmu would be a better
label here and there.

Better not use a clock name here that is not defined in the uart binding.
