It is not partial support the driver is supporting all the clocks available in the IP (please refer the patch 2 in the series).
In the example I just putted clock names for TX path I mean when the IP is configured only with one channel.

Will update the clock-names example with the all the supported clocks in the next version.

> however  we should keep the names same as the TRM.

Why?? Why can't we use simple convenient names that refers to equivalent clocks of h/w 
I mean I used axi_clk instead of s_axi_lite_aclk,
Used tx_clk instead of m_axi_mm2s_aclk,
Used txs_clk instead of m_axis_mm2s_aclk.

If it mandatory to use names as the TRM please let me know will update the same v2...

Kedar.
