I'm quite confident your SoC is not the only one with clocks.

OK, no need to add it now then. It can be added if/when it's needed.

Not really. If we specify a clock name now, we can suggest other SoC's
to use the same name (where possible). So we wouldn't need any new code
or documentation, and we definitely don't need each snowflake sub-driver
to pass a new name.
