Well some of them can be fixed by configuring things based
on the compatible value and then the node name can be just
clock like it should be.

Here too one option would be to add custom compatibles like:

compatible = "ti,clkout1-osc-div", "ti,divider-clock";

And then have match data configure the rest.

The other option would be to have lookup tables in the clock
driver based on the SoC and reg address.

This is a hidden mine though.. We've hit it already several times,
and any dts clean-up effort has a chance of breaking things.
