I've taken this into clk-next, but I'm not too pleased with it for any
purpose other than debugging.  For this reason I opted to keep the
double underscores (as opposed to EXPORTing a new clk_get_name which
calls __clk_get_name) to make all users of the API feel uneasy and
otherwise of low character.

Currently the clock framework relies on parent names for registering
clocks from defined in static data but this limitation isn't really true
for clocks defined as part of DT.  More to think about for the future.
