I'd go with this:

- clock-lanes: an array of physical clock lane indexes. Position of an entry
  determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates
  physical lane, e.g. for a MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have "clock-lanes = <0>;",
  which places the clock lane on hardware lane 0. This property is valid for
  serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2). Note that for the MIPI CSI-2 bus this
  array contains only one entry.
