IC, that's useful sideband information.

"pclk" is indeed an optional clock.
"ssi_clk" must be first.

However, to make use of the clock domain code, you still have to list "pclk"
in DT, but use a different name, to avoid spi-dw-mmio.c enabling it all the
time? Or do you plan to modify spi-dw-mmio.c for that?
In the former case, you should document that in your bindings, which
currently build on top of snps,dw-apb-ssi.txt, thus include "pclk".

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
