Hi Geert,

Sorry for the late reply.

As per DT rule we have to add ;)

I have got confirmation from HW team, the UM and clock list will not be updated,

* NCEPLDM_DM_CLK, NCEPLDM_TCK and NCEPLDM_ACLK actually exist, and
should be listed on the clock list. Only NCEPLDM_ACLK has a mechanism
to stop.
* Therefore, only NCEPLDM_ACLK should appear on the Clock Control
register on the UM.

For now I will keep them.
