Strange. Why do the even have names in there? What are those strings? I noticed that ux500 has uses four different strings, one for each instance, which is obviously a bug and should just be fixed. There is no way this was intentional, and we can just rely on teh fallback if you want to have that anyway. > I assume that for the non-dt case it's possible to name clock inputs to > a device without the clock being associated with the name globally?
