I would second that :-) . Like on a number of boards we have for
example
125MHz gmac clock generators ... with 2 gmacs, there are 2 of them.
I'm not sure the preferred name accounts for that?
Similarly we also keep the naming in the regulator node,
it's regulator-vcc3v3-somename {} instead of just regulator-3v3 {}.
"clock-xin24m" wouldn't be more descriptive than "clock-24m" and there
are usually only a few fixed clocks in dt, thus finding corresponding
definition isn't a problem I think.
Well, using "clock-xin24m" comes with another benefit, which is using
the same "xin24m" as in the actual clock name. That way, the same clock
name gets used in various /sys listings and in the debug clock summary
in /sys. Having that kind of consistency can only be beneficial.
For the gmac case, Krzysztof, do you think something like
"clock-125m-gmac1" is acceptable, just like what has been done for
regulators?
