Are you saying that having .name fixes it?

It's not required, but it makes things simpler to only use .index or
direct clk_hw pointers (.hw). I'm working on a clk documentation
overhaul series right now, about 4 years later than I should have done
it. It will cover this.

The .index field corresponds to the cell index in your devicetree
'clocks' property of the clk provider (the node with #clock-cells
property). If the clk is internal, just use a .hw member and point to it
directly. Don't consume your own clks in DT. If NPCM8XX_CLK_S_PLL1_DIV2
is a clk provided/registered by this device then it should be pointed to
directly with the clk_hw pointer. If NPCM8XX_CLK_S_PLL1_DIV2 is an
external clk that is consumed via the 'clocks' property in DT, then it
should be specified as a parent via the .index member.

Are the clk and reset drivers sharing the register range? If so, please
use auxiliary bus to register the reset driver, and map the register
region once in the driver that registers the auxiliary device. Pass the
iomem pointer to the auxiliary device.
