I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you recover soon.

According to an article [1],
=====================================================
forward and backward dts compatibility

Current practice is that
* new kernels work with old devicetrees
* old kernels may or may not work with new devicetrees
=====================================================
[1]
https://elinux.org/Device_Tree_Linux#forward_and_backward_dts_compatibility

So, IIUC, we have to modify binding doc, dts/dtsi files and the driver code step-by-step
to achieve the compatibility.
1) Modify binding doc to add clock-names.
2) Modify the renesas_usbhs driver to check clock-names.
3) Modify all dts/dtsi files to add clock-names.

We can make "1) and 2)" patches, and "3)" patch in parallel.
And, the 2) should take care of forward and backword dts compatibility,
IIUC.
