While I can see that "fsl,<chip>-clockgen" might have a large set of
strings that we may never deal with in th kernel, I'd prefer that the
basic strings (i.e. all the "fsl,qoriq-clockgen-[1,2].x" variants) were
listed explicitly here.

Given they only seem to be "fsl,qoriq-clockgen-1.0" and
"fsl,qoriq-clockgen-2.0" this shouldn't be too difficult to list and
describe.

Why does the fact this is set by u-boot matter to the binding?

Typo: #address-cells

In the example it looks like the address cells of child nodes are
offsets within the unit, rather than absolute physical addresses. Could
the code not treat them as absolute addresses? Then we'd only need to
document that #address-cells, #size-cells and ranges must be present and
have values suitable for mapping child nodes into the address space of
the parent.

It's not really the size of an address, it's the size of a region
identified by a reg entry.

I think this can be simplified by my suggestion above.

As above, I'd prefer a complete list of the basic strings we expect.

Here too.

If a clock source has multiple outputs, what those outputs are and what
values in clock-cells they correspond to should be described here.

That description's a bit opaque.

What's the name of the clock input on these units? That's what
clock-names should contain, and that should be documented.

Do we not _always_ need the parent clock?

If we have a clock do we need a clock-names entry for it?

That looks odd.

We didn't mention in the binding that "fsl,qoriq-sysclk-1.0" was
compatible with "fixed-clock" and should have "fixed-clock" in the
compatible list...

How does the mux choose which input clock to use at a point in time?

Cheers,
Mark.
