Would it work better to disable these nodes, only enabling them in the
board files when a real clock-frequency can be provided?

My initial reaction would be to move the whole external reference clock
node to the board file since that is where it is provided, but seems
that would cause more churn in serdes_wiz* nodes than we would want..
