Please see the picture of these external clocks in clock tree.

The clock "gmac1_rgmii_rxin" and the clock "gmac1_rmii_refin" are
actually used as the parent of other clocks. The "dummy" clocks
you said are all internal clocks.
For the audio related clocks (mclk_ext/tdm_ext/i2srx_lrck_ext/
i2srx_bclk_ext/i2stx_lrck_ext/i2stx_bclk_ext), they will be used
as the parent clocks in audio related drivers. Note that some
clocks need to select different clocks as parent according to
requirement.
So all these external clocks are required.

OK, I'll remove "clock-names" property in the bindings and device tree.
Instead, will use index to get these clocks in drivers.
