Please also add DCXO clock input/output and XO clock input to the bindings
and DT, and also fix up the clock tree. You can skip them in the driver for
now, but please add a TODO. As long as you don't change the clock-output-name
of osc24M, everything should work as before.

We just want the DT to describe what is actually there. For the XO input,
you could just directly reference the external crystal node. The gate for
it is likely somewhere in the PRCM block, which we don't have docs for.

Correct. The external clock nodes are modeling the crystal, not the internal
clock gate / distributor.

Were the vendor to not include the crystal (for whatever reasons), the DT
should be able to describe it via the absence of the clock input, and the
driver should correctly use the internal (inaccurate) oscillator. I realize
the clocks property is required, and the driver doesn't handle this case
either, so we might have to fix that if it were to appear in the wild.

That's fine. No need to increase the clock tree depth.
