No, it's normally <device-type>@<address>.

As I said. For the P1010 the clock get function just needs to return
"fsl_get_sys_freq()". No need to inspect the device tree. And I would
provide the clk implementation in

 http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.0.1/arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/clock.c

or even:

 http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.0.1/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.c
