The datasheet is not so verbose, but as I understand, CMU_MISC and
CMU_PERIC0 are clock domains of the same clock controller, thus I think
they should be treated the same. We should either get rid of the name of
the block in the clock names or keep it, but be consistent across all
the clock domains.

As Peter pointed out, if keeping the shorter names, one would have to
cross reference with the device tree in order to determine which clock
is used, its type, whether it's a gate or a divider. Whereas if we keep
the full name, one can see what's the clock about with a glance. The
full name coincides with the clock names that are defined in the clock
driver, thus one can grep for the full name from the device tree and hit
the clock definition from the clock driver.

The cons of keeping the full name is that keeping the name of the block
in the DT's clock name is just redundant. Rob was clear and said that
including the block name in the -names is a pattern we don't want.

In what concerns my personal preference, I like the full name. At the
same time, I see Rob's point, and if that turns out to be a rule, let's
respect it. So I'm fine with both, but let's be consistent across the
driver and have the same clock name scheme for all the clock domains,
otherwise it will just look weird.

Thanks,
