No, this is broken - if the device needs a clock the device needs a
clock and clock names should be static rather than passed in via
platform data (indeed NULL is a perfectly valid clock name).  The system
integation should map in a clock as needed, if it's just a fixed crystal
or something then just register a fixed clock and connect it up.
