There are multiple clocks, so I think names are better than indices. If
you really insist we could name them "v", "p" and "a", but I think the
clk suffix here improves readability. If those clocks were named
"videoclk", "pixelclk" and "axiclk" I'd be fine dropping the suffix, but
that's not the case here.
