Since the CGU can have up to 27 clock lines, but in this device not
all are used. So I use clock-indices so I don't need to have empty
entries in the clock-output-names array. I thought this was the
intended usage(?)

Most of the clocks from the CGU goes to a CCU, but the CCU isn't the
real consumer. It's more like a clock router with a bunch of gates.

If you take a close look at the CCU driver you will notice that it
doesn't do clk_get on any of the clocks. My reason for doing this is
to not increase the usage counter on the CGU clock so that if there
are no consumer after a CCU the entire clock line up to the CGU can be
disabled. So this is the reason that the CCU driver uses a "special"
way to grab the clock output names from the CGU.

Hope this makes sense.

I'll add a consumer example in the next version.
