The reason why clocks are needed from hwmod data is because we still 
don't populate hwmod fields like main_clk and opt_clock from DT clocks.

The reason why this isn't done yet is because we currently haven't 
figured out a clean way to tell hwmod what clock is the main_clk, and 
what clocks are optional clocks.

One of the proposed methods was to assume the clock named to be "fck" as 
main_clk, and the remaining clocks as optional clocks for hwmod. That 
method wasn't agreed upon, this looks like the thread which discusses this:
