The "-clk" in the clock name is redundant.

I understand you want to make it explicit that this GPIO is for the
pwrseq library, but are we really gaining anything over just calling
these reset-gpios and reset-duration-us?
The same applies to the clock name above.

This looks weird. The hub and ethernet chips don't have "pwrseq" clock
and reset input pins. I'd remove the clock-names and pwrseq- reset
prefix.
