This is just the omap refclock, right? If so, you can just pass the
standard clock phandle. I know we don't yet have the DT clocks merged,
but Tero just posted another revision of those.

Where does this clock come from? Maybe this can be set based on the
compatible value if it's completely internal?

If we can use the standard bindings, it might be worth waiting until
we have the DT clocks available as we have the pdata workaround merged
anyways. That's because then we don't need to support the custom
binding later on ;)
