Hmm, not sure of this. In __of_clk_get_by_name() called by clk_get():

int index = 0;

/*
 * For named clocks, first look up the name in the
 * "clock-names" property.  If it cannot be found, then
 * index will be an error code, and of_clk_get() will fail.
 */
if (name)
	index = of_property_match_string(np, "clock-names", name);

So, if no con_id is provided (name == NULL), then index is set to 0
which will always get the first clock in clocks = list.

Thanks,
