No, there are no such standard clock binding conventions. DT maintainer
tells you that.

Otherwise explain me where did we document such convention?

Messed From/DCO.

Please run scripts/checkpatch.pl on the patches and fix reported
warnings. After that, run also 'scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict' on the
patches and (probably) fix more warnings. Some warnings can be ignored,
especially from --strict run, but the code here looks like it needs a
fix. Feel free to get in touch if the warning is not clear.

Nope. From where did you take such syntax? Missing proper constraints
for names.

I don't see reason for this in the first place and your commit msg is
really poor in explaining WHY you are doing this.
