Hi Emilio,

Thanks for your help with this.

IIRC, we faced a similar issue with the Core Divider clock and solved it by
specifying the clock names in the DT.

I meant to complete the core and gating clocks in a similar way
(providing names on the DT), but apparently (as discussed with Gregory Clement)
Mike Turquette and others are planning to remove the clock names from
the DT entirely.

Can you guys explain about this plan a bit further? Or do you think we
should specify the names on the DT for all the clocks instead?

Notice that the latter would remove lots of strings from the kernel
itself (right?)
