We discussed that only msm8974 misses this "ref" clock at the time of
writing.  Aforementioned Fixes: patches have all been merged about 3
years ago, are those DTs still in use with a newer kernel?  I suppose
this patch is only backported to kernels including those DT patches, is
it reasonable to assume that at least that DT is in use there?

Besides, not all clock trees provide this global "xo" or "bi_tcxo" clock
in the first place.
