as far as i understand, the PCLK_XPCS is part of the naneng combphy, which is not yet available in mainline.
Naneng driver needs some changes and imho this should be part of it (including change documentation). That also makes it clear why this clock is added.
But leaving an unused property with sideeffects is imho no good choice.

So this was the easiest way to fix the dtbs_check. Else i got no usable result for it. Maybe adding it to Documentation is also easy, but have not yet looked into it as it currently unused from my POV.

But i leave it as decision for Maintainer to drop this patch as it is not needed for my Board DTS.

PD_PIPE is imho also part of Naneng. But more for usage as USB3/SATA/... phy. This is not part of Mainline too.

But thanks for pointing.
