clk_get() should also work just fine. clk_get() uses
__of_clk_get_by_name() internally, which uses "clock-names" to
locate the index if a connection id is given. of_clk_get() allows
lookup of a clock by index only, omitting the name, which means
you need to coordinate the order of clocks in DT with the order
that the driver wants... which sounds error prone to me.
