It seems my comment[1] did not get addressed in this post.

So I started implementing support for multiple outputs, but ran into a
complication. If you have multiple clocks on a node, then you have to
have a clk_src_get function to translate the clock cell value to a
struct clk. This would also require allocating an array of struct clk's
to do the lookup. This is all doable, but I don't see the benefit over
having a single node per fixed clock. We're not likely to have *lots* of
fixed clocks. I think we should leave fixed-clock defined as a single
output. If you really see the benefit, you can add a new binding
"multiple-fixed-clocks" or something platform specific.
