I'm not too familiar with the Exynos platform, but wouldn't it make sense to 
use a common name across IP cores for interface and function clocks ?

Certainly it would, I proposed that when the exynos clock controller
driver was posted, quite long time ago. Unfortunately it wasn't followed
up. One of serious reasons was that there are common drivers for
multiple Samsung platforms (also the ones not reworked to support dt) and
thus changing the clock names would be problematic - driver would still
need to handle multiple clock names.
But for this driver a common name like "gate" could be better IMHO.

OMAP uses "ick" for the interface clock and "fck" for the function clock. Do 
you think it would make sense to standardize on "fck" across SoC families ?

Yes, it would definitely make sense, provided we are starting from 
scratch, but due to the lack of listed IP clock inputs in documentation, 
we ended with a custom of naming the inputs after SoC clocks of first 
SoC used with such driver. This showed up long before adoption of DT and 
common clocks on Samsung platform and I'd say it would be hard to get 
rid of it now.

Anyway, as long as clock names are well specified in binding 
documentation, it should be fine. So, from me it's a

Not sure if it could be future proof, I guess where it isn't bound to other
issues and the names could be chosen freely - we could try to use standard
names. OTOH it could obfuscate things a bit. As far as Samsung platforms 
are concerned, the function clock names are usually in form of SCLK_[IP_NAME],
"sclk" seems to be an abbreviation of "special clock".
It is also not always clear which clock is the interface clock and which is
the function clock. The "special clocks" are generally referred to as the IP 
block clocks.
