No, there is no need for fake "clocks" node with fake addresses. If you
have multiple clocks, the rules are the same as for other similar cases,
e.g. leds:

{
    clock-0 {
       ...
    };

    clock-1 {
        ..
    };

    soc@0 {
    };
}

This should not generate any dtc W=1 warnings and work with dtschema
(you need to check for both).

Best regards,
