Update the various disabled external clock nodes to default to a
frequency of 0, but don't disable them to prevent this.

Hmmm, looking at the Koelsch schematics, I don't see this clock.
:-/

I don't have the schematics so i was simply keeping the current state.

I understand. I was just surprised by what checking the code against the schematics revealed.

I've added Phil Edworthy to the list as he was the one originally

I should've CC'ed Phil myself...

enable the bus clk for Koelsh according to git. Hopefully he can
clarify :)

Let's hope he'd reply...

Again, looking at the Porter schematics, I don't see this clock
either. :-/

You were the one enabling this clock for Porter ;) I don't have PCIE

Yes, of course. I don't remember the gory details already -- I might have blindly copied what was in the Koelsch's .dts.

hardware to test with on my porter board, might be worth if you could
disable this clock and see if PCI-E still fucntions as expected (maybe
in practise it just happens to prefer the internal clock?) ?

I know the PCIe driver does require this clock in order to function -- it would be the same eternal -EPROBE_DEFER condition you'd already described;
see drivers/pci/host/pcie-rcar.c yourself...

If the clock has a good default frequency, I don't think you need
to
remove it. Otherwise you missed USB_EXTAL which is 48 MHz (and can be
overridden).

I did that as it was by default disabled, so if i do enable it but
don't drop the default frequency to 0 board swithout that clock will
suddenly have it added to their dtb.

Zero frequency is hardly any better then the default...

For the usb external clock I didn't touch it as it was already enabled
by default with a proper frequency, so it wouldn't hit the issue i was
trying to fix here. But i agree, both looking at other Renesas dtsis
and how all other external clocks are done in this dtsi, this node is
odd.

It's not that odd given that the R-Car gen2 manual specifically says it should be 48 MHz.
Looking into the manual again, the PCIe bus clock must be the onne presented on the CICREF[PN]1_SATA/PCIe input signals and it indeed should be 100 MHz... So Phil was correct.
