"vpll" is a misnomer. A clock input to a device should be named after
the usage in the device, not after the clock that drives it. On the
rk3568 the same clock is driven by the HPLL.
To fix that, this patch renames the vpll clock to ref clock.

The problem with this series is it breaks an old kernel with new dt. You 
can partially mitigate that with stable kernel backport, but IMO keeping 
the old name is not a burden to maintain.

And given RK3399 is widely used including by me, we should not be 
breaking compatibility.

So allow for ref in addition to vpll if you like, but only use 'ref' for 
new users. And add a comment in the schema to that effect.

As suggested I only removed vpll from the binding document, but not from
the code. The code still handles the old binding as well.

The problem is updating rk3399.dtsi. That change won't work with old
kernels because they won't look for 'ref'. Since you shouldn't change
it, the binding needs to cover both the old and new cases.

is "newer dt with old kernel" really a case these days?

I do understand the new kernel old dt case - for example with the
dtb being provided by firmware.

But which user would get the idea of updating only the devicetree
while staying with an older kernel?

Side-by-side installations of LTS kernels with new kernels. LTS kernel
uses same DT as new kernel because distribution set it up this way.

Other scenario: user wants to modify their device tree. They download
the latest kernel sources from kernel.org because they can't use over-
lays and they don't want to fiddle with decompiled device trees.

I've had complaints about it. In particular from SUSE folks that were
shipping new dtbs with old (stable) kernels.

Yes, so update your firmware that contains a newer dtb and then you
stop booting or a device stops working.

Any synchronization between firmware and OS updates is a problem.
