No clocks/clock-names for the external clock inputs?

"RZ/N1 has 3 clock sources, 1 reference clock inputs for RGMII, and 2
 reference clock outputs for RMII/MII."

Given the documentation explicitly mentions the module clocks are to be
used for power-management, you may want to add #power-domain-cells as well,
and let the driver register clock domain. But that can be added later
(although it will break backwards compatibility with old DTBs).

As PWRCTRL_* registers allow to reset individual modules, #reset-cells is
another thing to add later.  It's good to start thinking early about how to
reference resets, though.
E.g. on other Renesas-SoCs, module resets uses the same numerical
references as module clocks.
