There already is a (non-OF) user for this driver that exports a "periph" clock, which is where the name comes from. It currently does all clock lookups purely based on the clock name, not the device name itself. Of course we can just make it get a different named clock when of_node is present; that should satisfy both. Technically on BCM6345 there are actually two clocks (more or less), the "periph" for the reference clock rate, and a clock bit in the clock controller register for the uart block. All later chips do not expose a uart clock bit anymore, and the bootloader is expected to enable it on systems with the clock, so we can probably pretend that it does not exist. Also it's quite unlikely that BCM6345 will ever receive proper OF support, and if it does, we can add the second optional clock then if we find devices that need it.
