I see. My assumption was that the entire clock hierarchy should be registered,
but Stephen almost certainly knows better :)

The driver considers it an error (uses DEV_ERR to log the message) and doesn't
handle other clocks when one is found missing. I'm not really famililar with
the dpu_mdss driver, but I imagine this can have some side effects. Added some
of the authors/contributors to cc.

It would also require a minor rework of the driver, which currently expects
all specified clocks to be available.

Another option could be to not list the clock in the device tree, then the
driver won't notice it as missing.

Ok, thanks
