Yeah, that's exactly why I think referencing this from the controller
and controlling it in the driver is preferable.

If this is some sort of select signal I think it makes sense to name it
"nvidia,refclk-select-gpios" or something. Does this appear in the
schematic somewhere? Or does the IP have a name for this? Those are
usually good places to look for inspiration on the name because it's
what hardware designers will be familiar with and they are technically
the ones who should write the DT, even if that's rarely the case.
