The typical reason for using clock-output-names is that we have some
consumer that finds the clock based on global name lookup. Over time
we've been moving these to use .fw_name or .index based lookup, which
removes this problem.

But I don't see that being the case here. So my suggestion is that you
just drop clock-output-names from the binding, which will solve
Krzysztof's objection.
