I'd say, leave them as is. Even if they are historical, we don't have
a strong pressure to change them.

Significant number of older platforms still use names to identify the
clock. And moreover apq8096/msm8960 uses dsi1/dsi2 instead of
dsi0/dsi1.

Probably we should call the next cycle "The Cycle of clocks cleaning".
I can volunteer to take care of 8960/8064/8016/8996, as at least I can
test them. But if you wish, you (or anybody else of course) can take
any of these platforms too, just ping me, so that I won't spend time
duplicating somebody's efforts.

Before my restructure of the DSI PHY subsys, each driver defined them
separately. And the idea of moving them to a dt-bindings header didn't
come to my mind. Feel free to do so, it looks like a good idea.
Just as a note, DP PHY also uses 0 for the link clock and 1 for the
pixel clock. What do you think about having a single header for these
names?

I will test it on RB3 (10nm) and RB5 (7nm) during one of the next few days.
