You missed the fundamental issue about the clock API - the _name_ is
not the clock name defined by the host.  It's the _device_ clock name.

So, you shouldn't be using the SA1111 clock name for the tc6393xb driver.
You should be using its own name.  The platform specific bit of the clock
API is then supposed to return you the struct clk corresponding with
that input, by using the platform knowledge that it's connected to GPIO27
or whatever.
