I meant drop it from the pcie node, and change the clk_get call
to pass NULL instead of the name, which will get the handle for
the only clock provided. You only need clock-names if you have
more than one clock in the device node and want to identify them.

The pcie-clock node should not have a "clock-names" property at
all, unless it has a "clocks" property as well and refers to
its clock parent with it.

I already noticed in another review that the xgene clocks get this
part wrong and that should be fixed for all those clock provides,
but it's unrelated to what I was talking about here.
