I see three: the raw SYSTEM "CLK32K_LOSC", the RTC input + debounce
clock (/32), and the multiplexed PAD.

Well, we never seem to reference the HOSC this way, this was always
somewhat explicit. And yes, there is PLL-PERIPH as an input, but we
don't support this yet. So I went with 0 input clocks *for now*: the
driver can then ignore all clocks, so any clock referenced in the DT
later won't cause any harm. This will all be addressed by Samuel's RTC
clock patch, which will also touch the H6, IIRC. And it looks like we
will need to touch the binding anyway then, but can then just *extend*
this.

The point is that everything works(TM) as of now: The consumers
(pinctrl) get their LOSC clock, and can go ahead. This is in the
interest to get us moving now, and refine the actual implementation
later. In this case this will only change the accuracy of the LOSC
frequency (HOSC/x, PLL/y, calibrated RC), but won't change the
semantics.
