These headers/titles for the sections/lists aren't consistently aligned.

That's not many clocks. I assume you're planning on adding more IDs
later, in a backwards-compatible fashion? I suppose that's OK since it
won't break any existing usage, as long as there's no need to renumber
any existing values.

On that topic, are any of those clock IDs derived from HW, e.g. register
numbers, or bit numbers in an array of registers? Numbering clocks in a
HW-derived fashion would make it easier or more obvious how to add new
clock IDs later while maintaining some consistency and without
introducing the desire to break any ABI.

Finally, how about creating a header file such as
include/dt-bindings/clock/exynos5410.h to define those clock IDs, so
that both *.dts and the clock driver can share the values without having
to manually write them?
