Can you split "implement new device" and "add new device to board"
into separate patches, please?

You'll need to update this for the change to the Clock API that's
now in master, I'm afraid.

(You'll also find some conflicts in the docs and in the board .c file
when you rebase now the ethernet device patchset has landed, but those
are easy to fix.)
