The hardware spec design these clocks are not belonged to the syscon,
the phandle is only used to get virtual map address for clocks which
have the same phsical address base with one syscon.(I don't know the
historical reason for this design) It also can wroten a clock sperated from
syscon by add the reg which same as syscon. but will lead to a duplicate
mapping--one is from the clock,and one is from syscon. which make difficulty
in analyzing some panic problems.
