I might prefer just "vic" as the clock/reset name. The name is often
used as a sort of "role" for the clock/reset for the device, not
necessarily the raw name of the "correct" clock/reset.


I considered that - but I then noticed that
drivers/clk/tegra/clk-tegra124.c was already using vic03 variant. I can
write a patch for changing that too.

Well, the two can be different; the clock-name in device tree kind of means
"string that i use to refer to a clock that powers the VIC unit". It's not
really a big deal though, both ways are used in DT bindings.

I'll insist on calling this vic in the clock-names property. The 03 is
as far as I can tell an encoding of the version number, so if you want
to call this vic04 in some future version we'll have to needlessly
patch the driver.

I agree, this is better without 03 postfix will fix this in the next version.
