I'd prefer to define that as:

clock-names: Must contain "ssc".
clocks: Must contain an entry for each name in clock-names. See the
common clock bindings.

That way, it makes it clear that clock-names is the primary lookup
mechanism, rather than some auxiliary documentation.

I think that's just optional. Since there's a well-defined sensible
default, there's no need to recommend it.

Are those properties specific to this binding, or intended to be
generic? If specific to this binding, a vendor prefix should be present
in the property name. If not, you probably want to document the
properties in some common file.

That wasn't mentioned in the binding definition. You'd probably want to
document the requirement for those two properties by saying something like:

A pinctrl state named "default" must be defined, using the bindings in
../pinctrl/pinctrl-binding.txt.
