Well, they are separate IP blocks, so this is how they should be
represented in DT and IMHO using different compatible strings is a bit
cleaner than relying on aliases to get instance index.

Plus we probably want to learn from mistakes done when designing
Exynos4x12 clock bindings, which prevent us from fixing the issue of
ISP power domain, in which the ISP CMU is located. AFAICS, Exynos5433
clock tree is split between several such "ISP CMUs".

which I believe is the proper way of doing things, which lets us
preserve the correct representation of separate CMUs in DT.
