Well, thats what I said in the first mail, that *if* you are able to
fix the device name, *then* we could use clkdev the way its used in
non-DT case. But then you came back saying 'Fixing the device name
doesn't really solve the problem.' :)

If you provide a phandle to the PHY node in the board node, for which
you need to add the clk alias, you can always extract the device (using
of_find_device_by_node() ) and hence its name, so it doesn't matter if
its phy.8 or phy.9.
