This is not a correct reason alone to make a DT change and it is
explicitly documented in writing bindings doc. If hardware has clocks,
but driver does not use them, they must be documented.
Explain the hardware. You can mention the driver as an argument proving
only lack of ABI impact, but not reason to make a change.
Best regards,
