Well, this seems to be an older version revision A from 03/2022.
I have DS60001765B (revision B) from 12/2023 and got this here (note
the missing 'A' in the filename):

https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/MPU32/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/SAMA7G5-Series-Data-Sheet-DS60001765.pdf

Linked here:

The revision history is not very specific, it only says "Updated Power
Management".  Errata sheet has nothing interesting on that topic.

We both cited what we saw in the datasheets.  Revision A has the
section you cited, revision B has the section I cited.

I don't have a SAMA7G5 at hand.  Someone who has could test if OTPC
works with/without MCK0, and with/without main RC osc, all possible
combinations would be most helpful: with none of those, with only one,
only the other, both.

Hope we get this clock stuff sorted out?!
