So, instead of having

	i2s9-share = "I2S8";

on the DT, you want us to have something like this:

        afe_i2s8: mediatek,i2s8 { };

        mediatek,i2s9 {
          mediatek,share-clock = <&afe_i2s8>;
        };

Or do you mean something else?

It seems like a lot more syntax to express the same thing (and the empty node
seems awkward), but if that's the DT way, I can change it no problem.

Indeed, sorry, I'll add it in next version.
