Noted, I suppose meant 'dt-bindings: clocks: ..." which seems to used half of
the times
The rest use 'clk: {platform}: ...'

This is not really the point. The parent controller may or may not provide some
of the PLL. This was the case during the development of the controller when the
HIFI pll was not available simply because there was no driver for it.

Whatever the reason for an input clock to be missing, this clock controller may
continue to serve its purpose even if some input plls are not provided/available
which is why these are not "mandatory"
