I just used the wording provided earlier by Andrew verbatim. But can change
to the following if you insist:
Currently Linux does not implement ACPI ClockInput() resource to describe
clocks, unlike DT. However the xiic driver is happy if something
magically enables the clock before the driver probes, and does not
turn it off again. The clock should always be considered optional for
ACPI.

Sorry, I missed it. Will fix in V10.
