But isn't the clock source board-specific? It's a completely separate
object from Zynq's own clock controller HW, and as such should be
represented by a separate DT node, right?

The issue with parent clock names is simply a red herring. A solution is
needed to registered clock with a parent clock object, rather than a
parent clock name. Then, the parent names are completely irrelevant.
