Why are we using clkdev lookups for clks populated from DT?
Shouldn't we be able to point to them from the consumers that
would also be in DT? I'm a little lost.

The clk_get interface allows the first argument as NULL. We just assure
consumers can get the clock from DT or by clock name.

Ok. The first argument to clk_get() really shouldn't be NULL. It
should be the device pointer for the device that is associated
with the clk you want to get. The clock name (second argument to
clk_get()) should be device specific and not some globally unique
identifier. It seems that you're using the clk_get() API
incorrectly.
