Why not? Because the DSI PLL isn't a clk provider? Or it doesn't have
#clock-cells? Please try to use the DSI PLLs from DT or at least specify
them in the binding as optional clocks that may not matter if DSI is not
enabled for example.

We've "solved" that problem with orphan clks and the clk parent rewrite
series. Maybe you can try it out to help flush out any bugs lurking
there.
