Old bindings are not really accurate.

Useless for whom? For Linux yes. For U-Boot or out-of-tree users of DTS,
I don't know. Anyway the true question is if there is a clock or there
is no. If there is a clock, then it should be in the binding even if
Linux driver does not use it.

I propose to add it and be done with it.




Best regards,
Krzysztof
