I am hardly an authority on how those clocks should be named, so don't
put too much value in my suggestion. However if I had to do, I'd
probably use "pcie" for MASTER_AXI and add "pcie_slave" or maybe
"pcie2" to control SLAVE_AXI.

Lucas, if you don't mind, could you please comment on clock naming
situation here?
