Indeed.

Where are these hardcoded in the board file?
Even if they are, technically this is a clock output of the ADC7482.

It currently does say so, as it doesn't list "clocks" in its properties section.

Probably the SCK4/WS4 functions are the reset-state defaults.

Yes it does.
If a device has clock outputs and is thus a clock provider, it should
have a #clock-cells property, and this should be documented in the bindings.

A clock consumer will refer to clocks of a provider using the "clocks"
property, specifying a clock specifier (phandle and zero or more indices)
for each clock referenced.

Oops.
