A call to clk_get will not enable/ungate the clock signal. It seems that
there might be some confusion around that. It is always OK to get the
clk. This will not increase the enable_count or prepare_count values.
If the CCU is a separate IP block then it might make sense for it to
call clk_get on the CGU clocks. On the other hand it might make more
sense for the CCU clocks to simply use the CGU clocks as parent clock
signal inputs.
None of the points above have anything to do with my original comment.
The use of the clock-output-names property is unnecessary if all of the
consumer devices have DT nodes of their own. Please look at the thread I
linked to and let me know what you think about getting rid of the
clock-output-names property.

Great.
