Good pointm this doesn't quite seem right: it is unlikely that the same clock
is used for both the SPI bus and the APB bus.

Isn't this just using the wrong name? The name of the macro
LPC32XX_CLK_SSP0 might indicate that this is indeed the SPI clock
rather than the APB clock, so we only need to change clock-names
property here and leave it unchanged otherwise.

Looking at the driver, I also see that this refers to the clock as
"SSP/SPI bus clock", and it reads the rate from that.

In case of the LG platform, my impression is that the clocks listed
in DT don't reflect the system at all, they all refer to the same
fixed clock node at 198000000HZ, which is also used as for the
UART and timer nodes. Changing the name on that one doesn't
really make it correct, but should not hurt either.
