Okay, sounds good. I agree that it was good to post these patches soon.
The earlier they can be discussed and reviewed the better.

I'm not sure that's even required. The number of syncpoints and channels
should be static for a particular version of SoC, right? In that case it
can be derived from the DT compatible property, can't it?

I hope that DT clock support will go into 3.9, in which case the issue
will just go away.
