Usually, that difference just means all the clock inputs are connected
to the same clock source. But the binding should describe the inputs.
If the dwc3 core has 3 clocks and your wrapper logic varies, I would
say you should follow the dwc3 core and ignore the wrapper for
purposes of the binding (unless there is some complex clock tree
there).

That is a Linux driver issue which is irrelevant to the binding.
