No because this does not solve my concern. You allow here anything,
which is not desired. The device bindings should specify what clocks
(and resets) you have here. Order is also fixed (with exceptions).

Now, if this is generic IP block used by different SoC vendors and it
has different clocks in different implementations, it means one
compatible for all of them is not enough anymore.
