Having one DT_MACHINE_START per soc is ok if it helps you. Of course if you
have multiple ones that are basically identical, it's simpler to just
combine them.

Ok, I see. BTW, have you tried what I first recommended to you, which is
to check the compatible property of the clock node instead of the machine?

Obviously that only works when you initialize the clocks from init_early()
instead of from map_io(), but I think that would be the cleanest choice
if you want to have single function with run-time dependencies.
