Do you need any clocks properties, IP block reset signals, power domains?

    Currently not.

What does "currently" mean? Does that mean that the Linux driver simply
doesn't touch those entities at present?

There's Ether clock but the driver doesn't manipulate it directly, assumingly it does this thru the runtime PM interface. As for the others, I simply don't know.

If so, that's not enough to say
that those entities should not be described in the DT binding. We should
strive to make the binding completely describe all aspects of the HW,
irrespective of whether a particular driver happens to use that
information at present.

   There's no DT representation for the clocks in SH-Mobile subarch yet.
The same applies to the other entities you mentioned.

WBR, Sergei
