This patch modifies the device binding, but fails to mention anything
about the modification in respective documentation. Please do not do that.

In addition, since the series adding support for Exynos 5420 has not been
merged yet, I would rather make this patch a part of that series.

Also please see my comment below.

This code does not check if the clock was specified for TMU channels that
require it, i.e. the driver will not fail if you don't specify this clock.

Instead, it would be better create a separate compatible value for such
channels, like "samsung,exynos5420-tmu-broken-triminfo", for which this
clock would be mandatory and for which, if this clock is not specified,
the driver would fail.

Best regards,
Tomasz
