How do resource firewalls work? Access to registers for some clocks in a
clock controller are disabled? Or something gates off clocks/resets to
a block?

It might make more sense for "resource" accesses to be managed within
those resource APIs (i.e. the clock and reset frameworks) and leave this
framework to bus accesses.

initcall ordering hacks should not be needed. We have both deferred
probe and fw_devlinks to avoid that problem.

Why something stm32 specific? We know there are multiple platforms
wanting something in this area. Wasn't the last attempt common?

For a common binding, I'm not eager to accept anything new with only 1
user.

Why do you need to parse the property twice?
