I worry about this a bit. IIUC, these clocks don't actually exist in HW,
but are more a way of SW applying policy to the clock that do exist in
HW. As such, I'm not convinced it's a good idea to expose these clock
IDS to DT, since DT is supposed to represent the HW, and not be
influenced by internal SW implementation details.

Do any DTs actually need to used these new clock IDs? I don't think we
could actually use these value in e.g. tegra124.dtsi's clocks
properties, since these clocks don't exist in HW. Was it your intent to
do that? If not, can't we just define these SW-internal clock IDs in the
header inside the Tegra clock driver, so the values are invisible to DT?
