Forgot to mention one thing in my very first reply, so I'll mention it
here. I think figuring out the way to add support for external vs
internal reference bus clock (that "ext_osc" binding above) is going
to be a whole other discussion. It might be easier/more expedient to
focus on just one particular use-case first (say external oscillator
only), get it all done and accepted and then return to this particular
feature in a separate series/discussion. However, that's just how I'd
approach this, so, please don't feel compelled to do it that way just
because I suggested it.

Thanks,
