I guess the oscillator is a separate component on each board, right?
And DT obvious is meant to describe the hardware - independently from
implementation-specific choices.

Starting to discuss which exceptions to allow then might lead to even more
exceptions.

Also having to look for a board-component in the soc dtsi also is surprising
if one gets to the party later on :-) .
