It is not 100% identical, as the parent-clock-names do provide ordering
of clocks to be selected, which - under some circumstances may be
beneficial - e.g: when having a parent clock with 500MHz and 1000MHz,
then the higher clock could get given preference by switching ordering...

Also when using:
assigned-clock-parents = <&clk_osc 0>, <&clocks BCM2835_PLLD_PER>;

I get strange indexes passed when calling set_parent - so this would
need to get rewritten to support assigned-clock-parents correctly -
calculating the index on the fly...
