What do you mean by parsing here? IIUC there isn't a clock driver for
these clocks and are setup directly in the
drivers/net/wireless/ti/wl12xx/main.c driver.

So you can't make the WLAN chip dev node a consumer of these clocks by
adding a phandle to a clock provider and clock specifiers since there
isn't a provider to be referenced in the DT. Or did I misunderstand?
