I half wonder if this should actually have a fixes tag too. Since it
used what came after the @ in $full_name, it'd be possible to create
(an incorrect) DTS that would lead to a clash between pll names &
therefore probe would fail.
The tag would be:
Fixes: d39fb172760e ("clk: microchip: add PolarFire SoC fabric clock support")

Either way, thanks for pointing out a function that does exactly what I
initially wanted to do but could not find! Glad to be rid of those
"oddly specific" allocations.

Thanks,
Conor.
