What's wrong with having a system clock unit binding, that the kernel
can decompose as appropriate?

From what I understand, the arm-soc maintainers want to reduce (and perhaps even
eliminate) these board-specific constructs, and try to utilize common driver-code that
resides in the "driver" folder. I can vouch for the syscon/regmap framework as something
which would enable the effort.

While your statement is true in general, it doesn't seem to counter
what Mark R said above.
