Right, the reset could be optional on some systems, but sounds like it
is always there on the an7581. The clock is probably mandatory always.
I think you should make it required in the binding, but not in the
driver since that needs to work with existing devicetrees.
Technically this is an ABI break (new required property), so at least
mention in the commit message that you're aware of this.
