But the clocking framework doesn't know what "index", while it knows
exactly what is "id" (string). How about making the clock names
obligatory in the tree when there a node has more than one clock input?
This sounds much simpler to me and seems to be in line with the clocking
API. And the apb_pclk wouldn't have to be first/last/whatever.

Pawe?
