I think the best solution for this is to continue with anonymous clocks
rather than adding names after the fact. This could be done (for DT-only
drivers) using the of_clk_get() interface that takes an index, or
we could add a generic dev_clk_get_index() or similar interface that
has the same behavior but also works for clkdev.
