How to handle node_usb_soc1's clock which is without clk name to consistent with three
clocks for node_usb_soc2 at driver? Except for adding some platform judge code at
driver, do you have other solutions?

node_usb_soc1: {
	clocks = <&clks IMX6_CLK_USBOH3>;
};

node_usb_soc2: {
	clocks = <&clks IMX27_CLK_USBIPG>, <&clks IMX27_CLK_USBOH3>, <&clks IMX27_CLK_USBPER>;
	clock-names = "ipg", "ahb", "per";
};
