A minor comment here is that you probably shouldn't change "clock-names".

The "clock-names" is the consumer's concept of the clock name and not
the producer's concept.  If this clock were specified as going into
the TPM, for instance, the TPM might call it "32k-reference".  Then
the TPM would get the clock by referring to this name in its driver.
