It's fine to not mark it optional in the binding, but it should be
optional in the driver as otherwise backwards compatibility will be
broken. Given this is an integral clock driver, sounds like it would
quite likely break booting on these devices if the driver doesn't treat
syspll_in as optional.
A lesson perhaps in describing the hardware entirely, even if the
drivers don't make use of all the information yet?

Cheers,
Conor.
