The reason why these clocks ended up with NULL names was to force the
issue that clocks shall not be named solely by their connection IDs,
which was a major problem before DT.  Now that we have DT, I'm happier
to reinstate the names, but I think we should just reinstate the names
we had previously.  That should be in the git history.

The down-side is those names are all in capitals - but they were named
after the signal name(s) given in the Primecell documentation.
