I guess the fin_pll parts of the binding description are not needed
then. This isn't a big issue, but I think that someone reading that
binding (like myself) might conclude that there is some relationship
between the clock controller and the external clock, which seems not to
be the case.

As far as I can tell the fin_pll paragraph can be removed at a later
date. It isn't part of any real DT binding description such as a
property or definition. So no need to cause havoc for your existing pull
request.
