The YAML binding actually did loose something in translation here,
which I didn't notice. Previously all those clocks were listed under
"Required properties", with the exceptions listed in parenthesis. So
the Dove GPU, which is a combined 2D/3D core should have axi, core and
shader clocks specified.
