OMAP clock data is located in arch/arm/mach-omap2/cclockXYZ_data.c.
However, this presents an obstacle for using these clock nodes in
Device Tree definitions. This is especially true for board specific
clocks initially. The fixed clocks are currently found via clock
aliases table. There are many possible approaches to this problem as
discussed in the following thread:
http://marc.info/?t=136370325600009&r=1&w=2.
Highlights of the options:
a) device specific clk_add_alias:
   cons: driver handling required
b) using an generic clk node and indexing to reach the clock required.
   This is similar in approach taken by tegra and few other platforms.
   Example usage: clock = <&clk 5>;
   cons: potential to have mismatches in indexed table and associated
   dtb data. In addition, managing continued documentation in bindings
   as clock indexing increases. Even though readability angle could be
   improved by using preprocessing of DT using macros, indexed
   approach is inherently risky from cases like the following:
   clk indexes in kernel:
   1 - mpu_dpll
   2 - aux_clk1
   3 - core_clk
   DT entry for peripheral X uses <&clk 2> to reach aux_clk1. Now, let's
   say kernel updates indices to:
   1 - mpu_dpll
   2 - per_dpll
   3 - aux_clk1
   4 - core_clk
   using the old dtb(or dts missing an update), on new kernel which
   has updated indices will result in per_dpll now controlled for
   peripheral X without warning or any potential error detection.

   Even though we could claim this is user error, such errors are hard
   to track down and fix.

An alternate approach introduced here is to introduce device tree
bindings corresponding to the clock nodes required in DT definition
for SoC which automatically maps back to the definitions in
cclockXYZ_data.c.

The driver introduced here to do this mapping will eventually be the
place where the clock handling will migrate to. We need to consider
this angle as well so that the solution will be an valid transition
point for moving the clock data out of kernel image (into device tree
or firmware load etc..).

Overall strategy introduced here is simple: a clock node described in
device tree blob is used to identify the exact clock provided in the
SoC specific data. This is then linked back using of_clk_add_provider
to the device node to be accessible by of_clk_get.

Based on discussion contributions from Roger Quadros, Grygorii Strashko
and others.

RFC of this patch was discussed in http://marc.info/?t=136370325600009&r=1&w=2
along with the detailed context as to why this is an intermediate step.

Previous revisions of cpufreq-cpu0 support do not use this approach.
[Might eventually belong to Mike's tree.]

I would leave out the comment above, it's a leftover from
the clk_add_alias() version that we don't need because of
of_clk_get().

How about drop the comment on clocks being removed above.
It no longer an issue, so maybe something like this instead:

* Note that we look up the clock lazily when the consumer
* driver does of_clk_get() and initialize a NULL clock here.

Then the above comment can be removed too.

The error in case (b) is that you shouldn't be changing the DT bindings
after they've first been created. That would avoid the problem
situation. The person using the old DTB with the new kernel didn't
commit user error.

Well, I haven't read the patches, but isn't that exactly what the "2" is
in <&clk 2>?

That is what we'd like folks to follow, but when code is in
development, or productization, there is no saying the type of
mistakes people end up doing.

partly so. yes: it indexes back to the right clock node - at that
point the comparison stops. we just point back on naming as needed and
introduce nodes purely for the ones that we need.

+Device Tree Clock bindings for Texas Instrument's OMAP compatible platforms
+
+This binding is an initial minimal binding that may be enhanced as part of
+transitioning OMAP clock data out of kernel image.
+
+This binding uses the common clock binding[1].
+
+[1] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : shall be "ti,omap-clock"
+- #clock-cells : from common clock binding; shall be set to 0.
+NOTE:
+node name should map to clock database in arch/arm/mach-omap2/cclock<SoC>_data.c
+Since all clocks are described with _ck, the node name is optimized to drop the
+usage of _ck. For example, a clock called dpll1_ck will be defined as dpll1.
+
+Example #1: describing clock node for CPU on OMAP34xx platform:
+Ref: arch/arm/mach-omap2/cclock3xxx_data.c
+describes the CPU clock to be as follows
+	CLK(NULL,	"dpll1_ck",	&dpll1_ck,	CK_3XXX),
+Corresponding binding will be:
+	dpll1: dpll1 {
+		#clock-cells = <0>;
+		compatible = "ti,omap-clock";
+	};
+And it's usage will be:
+		clocks = <&dpll1>;
+
+Example #2: describing clock node for auxilary clock #3 on OMAP443x platform:
+Ref: arch/arm/mach-omap2/cclock44xx_data.c
+describes the auxclk3 clock to be as follows:
+	CLK(NULL,	"auxclk3_ck",	&auxclk3_ck,	CK_443X),
+Corresponding binding will be:
+	auxclk3: auxclk3 {
+		#clock-cells = <0>;
+		compatible = "ti,omap-clock";
+	};
+And it's usage will be:
+	clocks = <&auxclk3>;
