These clocks are used as root clocks or optional parent clocks in clock tree.
Some of them are optional, but they are required if we want to describe the
complete clock tree of JH7110 SoC.

Yes, the fixed clocks are all clock sources on the board and input to the SoC.

Yes, actually only one of them is chosen as the root clock
source of the clock "gmac1_rx".

The clock-names are used to easily identify these clocks in the clock driver.
