If the same system has multiple clocks, then you could have them matched
by the smartreflex driver instance number.

Or if you mean different source clocks for various omaps, then
you just need to set multiple aliases for those clocks.

Hmm maybe I don't follow you, but sounds like you just need to
use the driver instance like we do for timers:

$ grep omap_timer arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock*data*.c
arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c:   CLK("omap_timer.1",     "timer_sys_ck", &sys_clkin_ck,  CK_443X),
arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c:   CLK("omap_timer.2",     "timer_sys_ck", &sys_clkin_ck,  CK_443X),
arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c:   CLK("omap_timer.3",     "timer_sys_ck", &sys_clkin_ck,  CK_443X),
...

If you need multiple clocks for a driver instance, then they
typically are just "fck" and "ick".
