I generally not just like - but *love* - this change, I had that in my mind
for a couple of months now and forgot about it because reasons.

There's just one thing that, since we're doing this now, we can clarify (and
that's important to avoid questions like "why isn't this board-specific"):
the 26MHz clock "clk26m" oscillator that we're using for the system timers
is a SoC-provided clock, and its name is "SYSCLK" as in "System bus clock".

I know that your target is to describe how we get from 26M to 13M, but at
this point it may be worth it to use the right names to help preventing
confusion about that clock not being an external crystal on the board but
something internal to the SoC.

So, I propose:
1. Change `clk26m: oscillator` to `clk26m: sysclk` or `clk26m: sysclk-26m`;
2. Add the divider as `clk13m: sysclk-div2`.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Angelo
