Maybe this can help clarifying the commit message. All Broadcom wireless 
chips have this clock input, but often the chip end up on a wifi module 
that may or may not provide the clock. From chip perspective the clock 
input is always present, but it is optional as the chip can also use an 
internal clock.

As such I would not choose to make this specific to this AP6275P 
hardware (just my 2 cents).
