No, not at all. You can have lots of clock controllers with the same
compatible string defining different instances of the same IP block,
e.g. for compatible="fixed-clock".

Yes, that's what I mean. You can simply model that extra mux/gate
in the driver, as long as nothing ever tries to access the clock.
