Sounds like vdd-supply is required?

Drop the deprecated stuff from the fixed-clock binding?

I see this datasheet[1]. Can that link be included somewhere? That shows
there's a clock input pin, which means I expect a 'clocks' property.

Maybe instead of creating a generic binding just make a binding for
these diodes parts? It certainly looks like a generic binding could come
later when another vendor supports the same binding.

This is the same required properties as fixed rate clocks. I'd guess
that at least 'enable-gpios' or 'vdd-supply' should also be required, or
the node would simply use fixed-clock compatible.
