Clients use devm_clk_get() with a "pmc_plt_clk_<n>"

This is the problem. Clients should be calling clk_get() like:

        clk_get(dev, "signal name in datasheet")

where the first argument is the device and the second argument is
some string that is meaningful to the device, not the system as a
whole. The way clkdev is intended is so that the dev argument's
dev_name() is combined with the con_id that matches some signale
name in the datasheet. This way when the same IP is put into some
other chip, the globally unique name doesn't need to change, just
the device name that's registered with the lookup. Obviously this
breaks down quite badly when dev_name() isn't stable. Is that
happening here?

PMC Atom is a PCI device and thus each platform would have different
dev_name(). Do you want to list all in each consumer if consumer wants
to work on all of them or I missed something?

So, the question is how clock getting will look like to work on
currently both CherryTrail and BayTrail.

The name pmc_plt_clk_<n> follows the data sheet specification, where this convention is suggested:
  PLT_CLK[2:0] - Camera
  PLT_CLK[3] - Audio Codec
  PLT_CLK[4] -
  PLT_CLK[5] - COMMs

These clocks are not internal but are made available to external components through dedicated physical pins on the package, this external visibility limits the scope for confusions, variations. I have not seen any skews where these clocks and pins were changed at all.
