The problem with these is that if you keep them in for your initial
submission, you can never (or only under extreme pain) remove them.
Anything in DTB needs to be effectively supported forever.
Also since these don't make sense to hard-code, just improve the code
and get rid of the need for these DT properties. Mind you that you still
need to keep the code to parse them, because presumably Exynos relies on
them. But depending on how you split up the driver you might be able to
restrict these compatibility hacks to Exynos and not carry them forward
into your new driver.

I agree that dealing with these in a PHY driver sounds like the better
option. However, I still think that the dp-phy prefix is redundant. The
names are in a per-driver scope, so "dp-phy" is implied by the device
tree binding and driver already. You could simply use shorter names such
as "phy" and "24m" for example.
Also note that the clock provider will already have the proper names for
these, so the clock tree will end up showing the provider names. The
names in the binding are merely the "consumer" names.
