I've started looking at the DT clock bindings in more depth. To what level should the clock tree be defined in the DT? Should it be a one-to-one correlation of current struct clk nodes to node in DT where each node is a single input and output? Or only define a single (or few) node with the inputs (oscillators) and many outputs for SOC's clock controller (i.e. MX51 CCM).

If the DT itself does not have a hierarchical construction of nodes that matches the clock tree hierarchy, then creating the hierarchy at run-time will be a challenge and not be very efficient. It would require 1 pass for each clock node type to create all the nodes, and then another pass to setup the hierarchy.
