Thanks for your patch, which is now commit f03606470886e781 ("riscv:
dts: starfive: replace underscores in node names") in v6.8-rc6.

This causes e.g. BeagleV Starlight to hang during boot without any
output.  Booting with "earlycon" reveals:

    dw-apb-uart 12440000.serial: error -EINVAL: clock rate not defined
    dw-apb-uart: probe of 12440000.serial failed with error -22

and indeed, p->uartclk = 0.

The clock driver relies on the clock names, which are (in the absence
of clock-output-names properties) identical to the actual node names:

drivers/clk/starfive/clk-starfive-jh7100.c:    parents[i].fw_name = "osc_sys";
drivers/clk/starfive/clk-starfive-jh7100.c:    parents[i].fw_name = "osc_aud";
drivers/clk/starfive/clk-starfive-jh7100.c:    parents[i].fw_name =
"gmac_rmii_ref";
drivers/clk/starfive/clk-starfive-jh7100.c:    parents[i].fw_name =
"gmac_gr_mii_rxclk";

Hence these clocks can no longer be found, and all children have a
zero clock rate, causing the breakage.
