I'm not sure if this makes sense. The name could be the same independent
of which controller uses it. If it isn't then the driver would need
additional code to find out which instance it is and construct a dynamic
string.

Any objection to just make this entry "disp", or "dc"?

There's another duplicate clocks entry here, although perhaps Marc
already caught that.

One other thing I noticed here is that you use a space between the
property name and the :. None of the other properties have that, so it
looks somewhat out of place. The same is true for other bindings, but
there seem to be inconsistencies in some places anyway, so perhaps we
don't care? Well, I do care, don't know about you. =)

This is inconsistent with other bindings that require only a single
clock entry. I suppose that this is required because of the driver
requesting a specifically named clock, in which case that's fine.
