The naming with useless suffixes does not help. If your spec had
"refclk_really_clock_this_is_a_clock" you also would insist on that? It
does not make sense.

Older has incorrect name, so do not align to incorrect one. What is the
logic behind having header not matching the bindings file? It makes it
only more difficult to connect these two.

I don't understand this comment at all. I am not commenting about
en7523-clk.h. I am commenting about the header here - it should have
dual license. What en7523-clk.h has to do with it?
