(Note that my comment was re: all clocks, not just that one clock)

Can't the PMC or flow-controller ungate the clock based on some event?
Either way, that clock definition exists in HW, right? So I don't think
there's actually any harm in including the definition in the binding
even if we never implement/use it.
