It may make more sense to add another clock driver for this clock
depending on how things are done, I don't know.

No, that's not OK at all, it won't allow for configuration of the
system. This is what I was talking about when I was talking the clock
framework extensions to allow the clock tree to be configured using DT,
that would allow the settings to be put in DT.

That's not going to work given that the existing bootloaders don't do
this.
