Sorry for the wrong behavior on your side and thanks for the
investigation.

I've looked at the code and indeed the am33xx-clock.dtsi file defines
the touchscreen clock, but unfortunately the am33xx-l4.dtsi file which
defines the touchscreen node does not reference the clock. The bindings
clearly require the clocks to be referenced but I believe this was not
noticed until now because the clock exist and clk_get() did a lookup
across the tree.

On my side I tested it with an am437x SoC which uses another base
device tree, which properly references the touchscreen clock where it's
needed.

I will send a patch (untested), can you give it a try and report if it
fixes your issue?
