Yes, I thought it was a convention to put the clock into board.dts ..

I think it's more clear if you could have a three level hierarchy:
 arch.dtsi. soc.dtsi, board.dts
   most of clock and pinctrl could go to soc.dtsi

yes, clock should be same

I will send another series to fix this
also will fold the DT separation (for soc.dtsi vs board.dts)
