This property is mandatory, according to the bindings.

Indeed, but you cannot put anything there until the platform has CCF, as
mstp3_clks doesn't exist yet.

Yes, that was the main obstacle to accepting those bindings sooner.
This patch therefore seems somewhat premature.

My main objective is to provide working Ethernet support for Armadillo
reference now.

Mine was the same (but for BOCK-W board) but DT people didn't give a
damn. :-) So there's still no Ethernet support in BOCK-W DT.

Yes there is: ethernet@18300000.

That's for an on-board SMSC911x, not for sh_eth.

The DTS already has other nodes without "clocks" properties.

It means not everybody submitting the bindings had the same bad luck as me. :-)

I think we have to be pragmatic here. The clocks properties will be added to
the dtsi as soon as we have CCF support.

I'd agree, so if there's no objections from DT people, I won't object anymore.
