I totally understand your situation but as MMC and NAND are mutually
exclusive, how is this a problem to have a dedicated clock driver used
only by the NAND controller (as maybe a first step)? I mean, if you
don't change the MMC bindings, then the MMC driver will still use its
own 'local' clock driver, right? I don't know if you can have two
nodes reserving the same address range though.
