Wouldn't it be > confusing to describe HW by using names different from the datasheet? No, because datasheet could call it "xvclk_clk_clk_clk" and it is not a reason to use it in the bindings. All of these are clocks, so don't add unnecessary suffixes.

Bindings describe the hardware and they are used in different projects. Let's say Linux implementation supports only 450 MHz, but other project supports 450 and 900, so your bindings would be incorrect in such case... IOW, bindings should not depend on the implementation. What is more, the driver might get updated without updating the comments in the bindings making them incorrect even for Linux. In the past several bindings contained actual specifics of implementation, but this is usually not the proper way. There are clear issues with describing implementation in the bindings, but what are the benefits? Best regards, Krzysztof
