I did, several times in fact.

The name of the clock is always "tclk", as hardcoded on the driver, 
unless overridden via clock-output-names from DT (see 
mvebu_coreclk_setup). Currently none of your DT that I can see does 
this, so in practice it's always "tclk".

You don't really *need* that. The driver just does that because it may 
have been convenient at the time and it worked. Defaulting to "tclk" on 
mvebu_clk_gating_setup and overriding it if it turns out it has some 
other name on the DT (just like on mvebu_coreclk_setup!) should work as 
well, and doesn't require complex, bloaty, dependency management.

Rough, untested patch below, so you get the idea.

Cheers,

Emilio
