dt-bindings: clocks: add binding for generic

A patch from »Binding and driver for "dumb" clock generators« in state Mainline for linux-kernel

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@...> Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2024 13:35:08 +0200

Commit-Message

In contrast to fixed clocks that are described as ungateable, boards sometimes use additional clock generators for things like PCIe reference clocks, that need actual supplies to get enabled and enable-gpios to be toggled for them to work. This adds a binding for such clock generators that are not configurable themself, but need to handle supplies for them to work. While in a lot of cases the type of the IC used is described in board schematics, in some cases just a generic type description like "100MHz, 3.3V" might also be used. The binding therefore allows both cases. Specifying the type is of course preferred. The clock-frequency is set in devicetree, because while some clock generators have pins to decide between multipls output rates, those are generally set statically on the board-layout-level.
