As this was not mentioned in the previous datasheet versions, the current driver
don't handle those clocks, and it probably worked as the clocks were enabled by
bootloaders, I think the clocks should be marked as required and this patch to
be propagated as a fix along with fixes on driver and device trees.
I'll let DT binding maintainers for the final decision on this.
