With this patch in the mainline kernel, I get

10000000.clock-controller:corepll: device ID is greater than 24
sifive-clk-prci 10000000.clock-controller: Failed to register clkdev for corepll: -12

..

when trying to boot sifive_u in qemu.

Apparently, "10000000.clock-controller" is too long. Any suggestion on
how to solve the problem ? I guess using dev_name(dev) as dev_id parameter
for clk_hw_register_clkdev() is not or no longer a good idea.
What else should be used instead ?

Thanks,
