Looking through the datasheet it just looks like this if
statement has always been non-sense, it looks pretty clear the
clocking should still be configured in slave mode (apart from
BCLKDIV which is presumably ignored in slave mode).

I would be slightly inclined to suggest it would be better
to just fixup any systems not setting sysclk for slave mode,
but I am assuming you are talking primarily about out of tree
systems. So I think we need to at least update the message here
as well, it should probably change to a warning and state that
the we are proceeding with no clock configuration, rather than
erroneously saying it doesn't need one.

Thanks,
