"COMBO" is just the name of the Linux driver and does not belong in the
binding.

Yeah, I had those in mind when creating the header and using a generic
QMP prefix (even if I didn't end up using the header in v1).

This could just be mapping of (arbitrary) QMP indexes to clocks and we
use it for USB3, DP, UFS and later also USB4.

This will however mean that the indexes are not necessarily zero-based
and consecutive for a specific SoC and PHY. But that's perhaps a
non-issue (cf. the PHY_TYPE defines).

We'd still need to describe which clocks are available on a particular
SoC and PHY, and that's partly why I used 'clock-output-names' to fix
the mapping in the binding. Guess we can just list the valid defines in
the property description as I did for #phy-cells.
