This is a problem with basically all the primecell bindings. I posted a series a while ago [1,2], but got a bit sidetracked and didn't manage to follow it up.

Would you be happy with the pl011 clock portions from my original series? Otherwise, this looks good to me. Cheers, Mark.

Can we please apply this? Yours, Linus Walleij

Greg can you pick this up through the serial tree? I can resend the patch if you don't have it... Yours, Linus Walleij

Make the map match the reality, the current binding text is nonsense: - The clock required for the clocking of the serial port must come first and is not optional (as the driver will otherwise proceed to grab and use the apb_pclk as uartclk), and the apb_pclk that clocks the logic must come second as the code will retrieve the first clock by index, whereas the PrimeCell but will explicitly look for "apb_pclk" so this can be specified later, as it is looked up by name. - The pin control state "default" is the only mandated state, the sleep state is entirely optional. We also add an example to avoid further confusion.
