If I had to guess, I believe it's yet more confusing than that.  I
believe you actually point to the parent phandle if you want to use
the clock.  I notice that the parent has #clock-cells as 1 so
presumably this is how you point to one child or the other?  ...but I
don't think it's documented how this works.  The lane nodes don't have
any sort of ID as far as I can tell.  ...and in any case having
#clock-cells of 1 makes no sense for USB 3 PHYs which are supposed to
only have one child?

Let's look at the code, maybe?  Hrm, phy_pipe_clk_register() takes no
ID or anything.  Huh?  OK, so as far as I can tell
of_clk_add_provider() is never called on this clock...

So I think the answer is that #clock-cells should be <0> and should
move to the child node to match with clock-output-names.  Then I guess
(if anyone references this clock from the device tree rather than
relying on the global clock-output-names) we should add the
of_clk_add_provider() into the code?

Maybe we can add that as a patch to the end of this series?  There are
so many crazy / random things wrong with these bindings that it makes
sense to make smaller / incremental changes?
