That means it'll end up like this (so that we can have more than one 
fixed-clock):

clocks {
     #address-cells = <1>;
     #size-cells = <0>;

     clk123: clock at 0 {
         ...
         reg = <0>
     }

     clk456: clock at 1 {
         ...
         reg = <1>
     }
}

Correct?

Incidentally, there is just one example in the kernel tree of doing this 
right (in arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-tx6.dtsi). All the others that use 
non-mmio clocks called `clock`, including the various tegra devicetrees, 
violate the DT spec by not including a dummy reg property matching the 
unit-address.
