[PATCH v3 1/7] dt-bindings: clock: Introduce nexus nodes
From: Miquel Raynal (Schneider Electric)
Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 06:48:03 EST
Hardware containers can just decouple external resources like clock
without any more control. Nexus nodes already exist for PWM and GPIOs,
add a binding to allow them for clocks as well.
No examples are given, the file is litteraly a copy-paste from Hervé
Codina's work on PWM Nexus nodes, hence we just point to the examples
there which already illustrate very clearly the concept of the various
properties.

+description: >
+ A nexus node allows to remap a clock specifier list in a consumer node
+ through a container or a connector node in a generic way. With this
+ remapping, the consumer node needs to know only about the nexus
+ node. Resources behind the nexus node are decoupled by the nexus node
+ itself.
