ok for device tree alignment


but this MCO2 assignment if not functional in U-Boot clock driver

- set_parent() => is not defined

- set_rate() => is only supported for a limited number of clock, PLL4_Q 
for example


but OK as the MCO2 is already configured in the clock tree directly in 
U-Boot SPL:

./arch/arm/dts/stm32mp15xx-dhcom-u-boot.dtsi

&rcc {
     st,clksrc = <
...
         CLK_MCO2_PLL4P
     >;

     st,clkdiv = <
...
         1 /*MCO2*/
     >;


Thanks
Patrick
