Hi Cosmin,

thanks for your patch!

As mentioned in the bindings I think this is cheating. Just implement a real
clock abstraction and take the desired clock divider (1 or 2?) from the phandle.

See e.g.
commit 639d5661cc808057854681685ecb596406dbacce
"clk: ux500: Implement the missing CLKOUT clocks"
for an example, it is more complex so it should be a copy/paste/strip
exercise mostly.

Yours,
