What additional clarity does that actually bring? I think it's kinda
less clear, because the git history is required to explain why drivers
cannot fetch the existing clocks by name.

I'd rather "channel-a" or similar, we try not to state the obvious in
the names of clocks etc - of course this is a clock!

Are you sure that the s4-pwm doesn't also have this core clock? Seems
likely, no?

Cheers,
