Right:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/primecell.txt:
- clocks : From common clock binding. First clock is phandle to clock for apb
pclk. Additional clocks are optional and specific to those peripherals.
- clock-names : From common clock binding. Shall be "apb_pclk" for first clock.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/pl011.txt
- clocks: When present, must refer to exactly one clock named
"apb_pclk"

There is no binding documentation at all for "uartclk".

It seems we should should leave clock-names = "apb_pclk" as it is.

Mark, Rob, would this be ok?

Thanks,

-Robert
