I would not bother making them optional. I don't think there's any
benefit to doing so when there's only one instance of this controller
on the device, and the grfs will also always be present.

Undesirable maybe, impossible no.

No, you would not have to change anything for other SoCs, it would
definitely be possible to do compatible based lookups on some devices
and phandle on others, particularly given you're adding a new driver.

Ditto this, the new clock driver that you're adding with knowledge of
the clock tree could also contain the new compatible for that soc.
