I'm not really thrilled how this is evolving with a node per provider.
There's no reason you can't just add #clock-cells and #reset-cells to
the parent firmware node.

I probably should have complained with the clocks node, but that's only
pending for 5.9.

The bigger issue is this stuff is just trickling in one bit at a time
which gives no context for review. What's next? Is it really a mystery
as to what functions the firmware provides? You don't have to have a
driver in place for every function.
