This sounds like you are describing the configuration of the clocks, not 
the connections. The binding here should list clocks for all possible 
vaules of N as those are all the input clocks to the block.

+  "spi_ioclk" for the I/O clock.
I agree we should list all possible spi_busclkN, I must admit  I might
have introduced some confusion by suggesting wording for clock-names 
similar to the above while discussing those things internally.  Afterwards 
I came to a similar conclusion all possible input clocks should be listed
These will differ depending  on the compatible.  I checked in documentation 
of most of related SoCs and for "samsung,s3c6410-spi" or older compatibles 
possible N is 0..2 (PCLK, USBCLK, PLL clock), for "samsung,s5pv210-spi" 
and newer possible N is 0 (SCLK_SPI).  

It's important to have all the input clocks listed so we have a list 
of parent clocks to the SPI controller's internal clocks, should we 
ever decide to model them with the clk API.
