Got it, will remove -name.

Not sure whether it will really happen in the future. Even it happens,
as we usually only need the device parent clock, then probably better to
handle the left complicated things in clock driver or OPP device driver.

I'm not quite sure i got your point. assigned-clocks seems a bit like function
the same as clocks property here, both are used to specifying the device
parent clock which provide X hz.

Or are you suggesting using assigned-clocks/assigned-clocks-rates instread
of clocks/opp-hz? Would you please clarify a bit more?

Okay, Will merge it.
