I was asked to do the exact same change here [1] by Nishanth, and I'm
sending the updated patch in a short while.

However I have one question, according to the
devicetree-specification-v0.4.pdf [2] "2.2.2 Generic Names
Recommendation", clock is a valid node name.

While testing the DT (make CHECK_DTBS=y), I did not have any warning nor
error.

What am I missing?

In addition to that I guess we should also update the example in the dt
bindings yaml file.
