Basically I could use fixed names for these clocks, I just wanted to keep
a possibility to override them in dts to avoid any possible clock name
collisions, rather than keep a list of different names per SoC in the driver.
Right now fixed names could also be used for all SoCs I'm aware of,
nevertheless I would prefer to keep the clock-output-names property.
"cam_a_clkout", "cam_b_clkout" may be indeed better names, I'll change
that.

Yes, it's for backwards compatibility only. It may be a good idea to just
document them as required, since this is how the device is expected to be
described in DT from now. I'll just make these a required properties,
the driver already handles them as optional.

It is supposed to do so, after this whole patch series. So the camera
controller driver will not need such properties. What do you think about
removing this sentence altogether ?

"pxl_async0", "pxl_async1" are mandatory, I'll add them also into
this example dts.
