Already in the second patch from this patchset the clocking support was 
added in the LINFlexD driver as optional, indeed for backwards 
compatibility.
I presumed that because of this optional clock enablement, I should not 
add the clocks as required in the bindings, but I will do so in V2. Thanks.
