Yup, that's about what I expected to happen.

The numbers are kinda hocus-pocus anyway, they are just made up since the
clock numbering usually isn't something with a nice TRM to go and
reference (unlike interrupts which usually are documented in that way).
It is very helpful to make them aligned some register/bit positions or,
but that is not required.
IOW U-Boot is not wrong per se to use 190 instead of 0, but it is wrong
to have different numbers in both places.

It sounds like you're saying that (and I have not looked) the U-Boot dts
actually has structural difference w.r.t. what provides which clock?
If so, that'll need to be fixed independently of the numbering problem.

Otherwise Xingyu & Yanhong should coordinate on which is the "correct"
way of doing things & do it in both places.

Thanks,
Conor.
