By digging into the datasheet, I discovered that there might be a way to 
use a valid clock as the input of the No-Die domain ADC. I would like to 
ask Inochi about this, as he wrote the clock driver for this SoC.

As I understand it, the SARADC working in the No-Die domain is fed, like 
every other IP in the No-Die domain, by the CLK_SRC_RTC_SYS_0. This 
clock source is either a division of the main oscillator (referred to as 
osc_parents in the clock driver) or "xtal," which is an external 
oscillator. Am I right? What is the role of CLK_RTC_24M?

If I'm correct, this description isn't needed anymore in the bindings, 
and the device tree node for the SARADC in the No-Die domain will need 
this line:

+                       clocks = <&clk CLK_SRC_RTC_SYS_0>;
