However, you could convert to yaml as well, if you wanted.

That answers my question. However, in the presence of a
'clock-frequency' property it cannot be optional, so -ENODEV seems
reasonable if it is missing. Potentially you also need to handle
-EPROBE_DEFER, although it seems quiet unlikely for an internal SoC
clock.
