-EEXIST, registration fails in the core.

So could I do `clock-output-names = "ccc_nw";`. That would work for me,
with one question:
How would I enforce the unique-ness of this property, since it would be
a per CCC/clock-controller property? Maybe I missed something, but I
gave it a shot with two different CCC nodes having "ccc_nw" & dtbs_check
did not complain. Up to me to explain the restriction in the dt-bindings
description?

FWIW I would then have:
ccc_sw: clock-controller at 38400000 {
	compatible = "microchip,mpfs-ccc";
	reg = <0x0 0x38400000 0x0 0x1000>, <0x0 0x38800000 0x0 0x1000>,
	      <0x0 0x39400000 0x0 0x1000>, <0x0 0x39800000 0x0 0x1000>;
	#clock-cells = <1>;
	clock-output-names = "ccc_sw";
	status = "disabled";
};

& in the binding:
   clock-output-names:
     pattern: ^ccc_[ns][ew]$

As always, thanks for your help. I did look at output names earlier in
the process, but didn't realise I could use it as a prefix.
Conor.
