Add clk_null, which represents clocks that can not / need not
controlled by software.
There are many clocks' parent set to clk_null.
Devicetree is supposed to describe hardware, and ideally not what software 
does with it. If the clock simply cannot be controlled by software, it will 
still have a rate and I think it should probably be modelled - similarly we 
sometimes have fixed regulators that also are not software controllable.


While it might be ok to define dummy clocks as a temporary stopgap, these 
should definitly be marked as such. This clk_null at least sounds like there is 
no plan to replace this with a real solution at some point.

And of course a bit of context would be cool, to know which type of clocks 
this actually replaces.
