These are the provider names, which would not change per board, I think. :-)

On the other hand if we are going to use generic drivers like 
"simple-mmio-nvmem" then having name DT bindings makes sense.

IMO, clock-output-names are analogous to nvmem consumers, which are 
obviously getting there names from cell node name ATM.

Do you have any particular example in mind, where the provider names 
would change per board?
