No, the driver logic is unchanged.

For #clock-cells: I did not add any failure path, but a missing
#clock-cells already makes consumers fail to get their clocks --
of_parse_phandle_with_args() returns -EINVAL when the provider lacks
the cells property, so of_clk_get() fails. This is enforced by the OF
core, not by this driver.

For #reset-cells: the TCSR does not provide any reset and no consumer
gets a reset from it, so there is nothing that would fail.
