Please note that there neither is an ambiguity nor a conflict
here, and that you actually acknowledge what Stephen said:

Clocks get referenced by a pair which consists of a phandle for
the clock provider and a clock specifier.  The clock specifier is
made of as many cells as the clock provider's #clock-cells
property defines (including none, or any other number than 1).

This is exactly what Stephen said:  A "clocks" item does not need
to have two cells.  The pair of phandle and clock specifier don't
necessarily translate into two cells, instead the number of cells
depends on the clock provider.

Also note that the phandle is specifically _not_ part of the
clock specifier.
